Oh, a Red Admiral. I have them in my yard.

This species migrates to Sweden and try to stay over winter, but usually fails 
They are not the most common species around here.

Such delicately beautiful creatures aren't they? I love seeing Red Admirals in the garden here too.

Beautiful butterfly...I have not seen one yet this summer visiting my gardens...but with all our windy days I could have missed him.
