Really like those images of the White Admirals on the gravel ground. The contrasting colours in their wings is incredible.

Thank you for the name of this butterfly. They are common here in Colorado, and now I know what to call them when I see them.

So well timed. I saw this butterfly today in the marsh and thought I would look it up but instead you shared and now I know. Thank you.

Another beautiful post! We have red admirals here in UK, but I've never seen a white one - they're gorgeous, and your pictures are stunning!
