This insect was perfect, and maybe this was its first drink too, as there were no scales missing or ragged edges apparant . Nectaring on a Buddleia bush in my back garden in Belfast it would have been a sin not to capture this "pristine" beauty. Unfortunately, although Red Admirals can hibernate successfully in the southern parts of the UK, it seldom survives our damp northern Irish winters.

Wonderful capture. Beautiful. Having never been there, I always pictured the weather in Belfast to be rainy and dark during the fall. Your photo is so full of life. Young butterfly and purple flower makes me think summer. I need to travel more.

Thanks , oddly enough we have just had the wettest October since records began, but we do get days such as that in the photo .

That would be a fair statement , we can have more than our fair share of rain throughout the year hence its also known as the "Emerald Isle"
