  1. I've been a bit quiet again, but back to share some art I completed 2025 for my patron's print rewards. This one is based on the Red Admiral butterfly - I want to make more butterfly characters when I have time :)

    I'll add the leftover prints to my shop as soon as that's up and running again - they have a nice pearlecent sheen.

  2. Red admiral (Vanessa atalanta).

    "The primary host plant for the red admiral is the stinging nettle"

    So all those nettles in the garden have a purpose, too. Feeding these guys, when they're all hairy and crawly.

  3. Wondering whether this will work, trying to share an animated GIF of a late #RedAdmiral #Bufferfly on the purple #Wallflower this morning, but it's only going to work if there is an in-post #Preview and #Mastodon seems a bit random about whether it generates those or not?

    A look at goings on in the first two matches of the ODI series between the England and South Africa men's teams and a very large gallery.

  5. We had a blast of summer yesterday, & with it an influx of butterflies into our garden. I was excited to see the only Painted Lady this year, & a Red Admiral - both species Vanessa. I got my phone out & got a quick shot. But when Iooked at the photo the Painted Lady isn’t there! The butterfly here is definitely a Comma!? Maybe the Painted Lady flew off seconds before I pointed my camera?

  6. My daily lepidopterological (is that a new word?) activities are truly picking up, as of yesterday.
    #InMyGarden not one, not two, but three butterfly species visited me, and two of them gave me the stare: a Red Admiral and a Small White. The third one - a male Orange Tip - was too busy flitting about to look around.

  7. Red Admiral on our butterfly bush today

    I don't remember seeing one of these here before, so it was exciting for me to see it on the buddleia bush we planted last year. Such a cheering sight.

  8. Few butterflies #InMyGarden this week - the changeable temperature & rain showers that the start of autumn has brought has meant just brief appearances from a few whites, and this bright Red Admiral taking advantage of a sunny spell to feed

  9. The garden has been buzzing this week since we got back from holiday. Bees buzzing in great numbers of course. But more butterflies than we’ve seen all the year. Especially numerous are Red Admirals almost dancing in flight!

  11. today was a #bugs and birds day in the garden! i've been taking part in the #bigbutterflycount so it was great to see three species today - a red admiral, meadow brown, and a large white butterfly (which flew too quickly to get a decent picture of!) i also spotted a #forficula #earwig and a load of #bumblebees enjoying the clovers in the sun ☀️

  12. This stunning Red Admiral Butterfly kept me company for hours while I worked in my community garden plot a few days ago. They spent the whole time flitting about the echinacea aka coneflowers.

    The Echinacea 'Warm Summer' cultivar in the photo is a hybrid of the classic purple coneflower, echinacea purpurea. I always recommend growing the classic for medicinal purposes, and the hybrids as ornamentals.

  13. To celebrate the start of (meteorological) summer, this beautiful Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta) has paid a visit to our neighbourhood
    😍

    Its genus ‘Vanessa’ is a group of brush-footed butterflies. Like so many first classified & named by the entomologist Fabricius, ‘Atalanta’ is taken from ancient Greek mythology, a fleet-footed princess.
