Red Admiral

Vanessa atalanta

Caterpillar feeds on various plants in the nettle family (Urticaceae).In North America this butterfly invades the northern part of the continent every year and dies out.(Source: bugguide.net) I found the Vanessa Migration Project where you can inform the site of your Vanessa butterfly observations. It's something worth looking into if you watch butterflies. I'm going to add my observation of this butterfly.
