White admiral (Limenitis arthemis)

This beauty was one of several seen today at the garden. In this case, it was along the Bill Holland Trail, and after "buzzing" me a few times, landed literally at my feet. Unlike many butterflies, this species rarely nectars, taking sustenance instead from scat, or minerals in sand, amongst other sources.
