The Red Admiral or Vanessa atalanta (previously also known as Pyrameis atalanta) is a well-known colourful butterfly, found in temperate Europe, Asia and North America. The species is resident only in warmer areas, but migrates north in spring, and sometimes again in autumn.

This large butterfly is identified by its striking dark brown, red and black wing pattern. The caterpillar feeds on nettles, and the adult drinks from flowering plants like the Buddleia and overripe fruit.

In northern Europe, it is one of the last butterflies to be seen before winter sets in, often feeding on the pale fire of ivy flowers on sunny days. The Red Admiral is also known to hibernate, re-emerging individuals showing prominently darker colourings than first brood subjects. The butterfly also flies on sunny winter days, especially in southern Europe.

In North America, the Red Admiral generally has two broods from March through October. Most of North America must be recolonized each spring by southern migrants, but this species over-winters in South Texas.

Hello Siggi,

You have shown well this buttefly in a photo with a fine composition. Even if image is somehow soft the photo looks good as there are very fine colors and a strong contrast between insect and background.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Hej Siegfried,
Twoje rusałki pięknie Ci pozują do zdjęć;-)))
Ta wygląda jak baletnica w czasie występu - zaraz oderwie się aby wykonać jakiś piruet...
Przy takich parametrach ustawień jestem pod wrażeniem efektu końcowego - ostrość jest niezła, zdjęcie nie poruszone, no, no...
Trochę poprawiłabym kontrast, bo na moim monitorze fotka jest jakaś jasna, ale może to wina monitora...
Dzięki i pozdrawiam ( całuski dla mojej imienniczki:-)

A fine capture from a good angle in a soft-focus effect Siegfried, the overwing details are accurately depicted here. I slightly modified the image in my WS, hope you don't mind...

Hi Siggi,

A very pretty Red Admiral in a lovely pose. The black, orange and white are quite striking. Nice details but I do feel the butterfly could be a bit sharper. Mehmet did a wonderful job in his workshop.

hello Siegfried,
the species is still active, even at the end of autumn. In last weekend, I saw it and took several shots. Your post is very nice for common Red Admiral. POV, focus, composition very nice. Thanks for sharing, best wishes

Kolejna bardzo dobra fotka. Ladne delikatne kolory, dobre rozmyte tlo. Motylek ladny i ostry. Zasnanawiam sie znow nad poziomami (levels) i moze bym zrobil cos co chyba jest zabronione na TN ;-) Wywalil bym te jasna rozmyta rosline z lewej strony i wstawil w to miejsce fragmenty tego ladnego zielenego tla a potem lekko rozmyl (np gaussian bluring) aby zamaskowac te zmiany ;-)
Pozdrawiam

Merhaba Dostum,
Son karelerini pek izleyebilme fırsatım olmadığından bu güzel kareyi kaçırmışım. Keskinliği, renkleri ve artalanıyla enfes bir çalışma olmuş. Eline sağlık.

Lieber Siegfried,
Feines und natürliches Bild vom Admiral, der hier sehr gut in Szene gesetzt ist. Wie Christian sagt, obwohl das Bild ein wenig "soft" ist, ist es sehr gefällig. Und dieser Schmetterling ist nicht einfach zu fotografieren!
Hab herzlichen Dank
Anne
