This rather battered and worn butterfly was nectaring on the abundant flowers of the wild clematis (clematis virginiana) in the front of the interpretive centre. I saw another one, not so worn, by the new woods. In July I found a caterpillar in some nettle leaves, and Diane also photographed an adult in July (both photos in the July blog). Red admirals are a migratory species, heading south in winter, and in spring coming north, sometimes as in 2012, in huge numbers.
