The Red Admiral was around yesterday and again today. I had a pair last year, the back of wing on one was mostly brown shades but like old Velvet with beautiful sheens. The other had colour at the tip of the forewing, blue and red mostly, with the white marks along the edges a little stronger than the other one. I have got pics.

This one has a lot of colour, the white along the edges looks brighter, and there is a lot of blue on the rear wing. I love the way their heads seem to lift up.
