Description
Red Admiral – scientific name Vanessa atalanta. This butterfly has a wing span of 1 ¾ to 3 inches with an erratic, rapid flight. Males will perch on high ridges or other raised areas in the afternoon waiting for the females to notice him. The female lays individual eggs on host plants which are plants in the nettle family. The adult Red Admirals first choice in food is tree sap, bird droppings and fruit that has begun to ferment but will seek out flower nectar when these are not readily available.
