As a kid the three common ones around our way were the Tortoiseshell, Red Admiral and the Painted Lady. We had lots of other types but I never really learnt the names and even to this day identification is a guess at best.

Can't remember when I last saw a Red Admiral ...think my Dad pointed one out to me down the common once when a young kid...unfortunately, the common now has a by-pass going thru it.

According the the Butterfly Conservation web site the Red Admiral numbers have increased and they can be seen all over the UK from about July onwards.Robin128 wrote:Can't remember when I last saw a Red Admiral ...think my Dad pointed one out to me down the common once when a young kid...unfortunately, the common now has a by-pass going thru it.
I took this picture in Port Isaac, a few yards From Doc Martin's house.
Also the Small Tortoiseshell.
