Red admiral…

…on a towel, on my washing line. Wish it had opened its wings.

A welcome visitor!

An amazing close-up! Fav! Yeah, getting photos of butterflies with open wings is a big challenge for me, too.

[Susan Wakely]

How lovely.

[Carole Sandford]

Great close up, sometimes they just won’t open their wings!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Such a lovely close-up

Lovely close up.

Indeed always a challenge with creatures of all types. ....and then if wings were open, there could be other problems, Earlier in the year I zoomed into a Red Admiral that I couldn't clearly see, but when I looked at the picture later I realised that its wings were damaged, so I didn't share.
