Red Admiral Butterfly

Red Admiral Butterfly
DSC 0008 Large White.

Third day lucky again! The butterflies are returning to my garden! Although they were not still for long, I managed to get these two, the Red Admiral and I'm not sure if the other is a Pieris brassicae I think. Maybe one of you will know. It looks greener than it was because of all the background greenery.

Beautiful butterflies, Rosa. Amazing that they didn't fly off. You probably asked them to remain seated and since they had good manners... ;-)

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Edna Edenkoben club
Thank you Edna. They didn't stay still for very long, but one of them came indoors today! I waited until it was still, on the wall and put it out. It was not at all grateful, and flew off! :-)

Two very attractive images of these beautiful butterflies Rosa on their colourful flowery perches. The Red Admiral is really striking and the second one I have always known as a Cabbage White, - not a very pretty name for this lovely butterfly

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Ecobird club
Thank you for your kind comment Carol. I am seeing many more butterflies this year than last year, I'm pleased to say. The white ones do confuse me a bit, as they look so similar, but I think you are right :-)

I wasn't so lucky with my Red Admiral yesterday.... They're so beautiful, frankly... You've managed two magnificent captures, Rosa!
I agree with you and Günter and others: the second one must be a "Piéride du choux" (French name.
I wish you a pleasant weekend !
11 months ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Eric Desjours club
They are very difficult to capture Eric. The more unusual varieties are the worst for flitting about and teasing the photographer! :-) Yes, I think you and Gunter are correct with the name. I saw a blue butterfly yesterday, but could only get a blurred shot of it :-(

Thank you for your kind comment and I wish you a good new week.
