A wonderful butterfly to enjoy on a summers afternoon. The Lorquin’s Admiral is busy these days and a common companion along the trails nearby.

Hi Eliza, it took a few tries as these guys don’t always let you get too close but it was fun catching all the ange.es best as we could.

They are indeed beautiful butterflies and while not the most abundant a few always turn up to brighten a July afternoon.

The Admirals are truly stunning butterflies, especially when fresh, like this. However, what you have there is Limenitis weidemeyerii. It lacks the orange apical patches and the brown background color on the underside hind wing of L. lorquini. Still, a gorgeous creature.
