Snapped some photo's of this unusual looking moth on my deck. Looks like it has some wing damage. Can anyone ID it? Cheers, Jim K ( photo / image / picture from Jim K's Garden )
Not a moth, but a Red Admiral Butterfly. And from my experience with them what I have read is true....once they find your garden they will hang around for several generations. The caterpillars feed on nettles and the butterfly loves Buddleja and overripe fruit.
Hi Toni, I guess that's why I couldn't find a photo of it in the moth database. LOL Thanks for the ID. Jim K
