Red Admiral, Vanessa atalanta

These butterflies are very common in North America & Europe.  They migrate to the northern latitudes in the summer and are one of the last species to migrate away at the summer's end.  Like many butterflies they can be found “mud-puddling” where they gather in groups in wet mud and absorb nutrients from the ground.  Notecard measures 4 1/2" x 5 1/2," includes an envelope, and comes in a clear plastic sleeve.
