Butterflies and Skippershope you can help identify this bug
I saw this insect hanging around on the east side of the house on a sunny day in early September. Can you identify it for me? Thank you.
This lovely, rapid flying butterfly is a Red Admiral, though amateur lepidopterist, wordmeister and author of Lolita Vladimir Nabakov referred to it as the Red Admirable. In our Mount Washington, Los Angeles offices, this butterfly is often found alighting on the hose in the late afternoon sun.
