I was blessed by this beautiful fellow today, chilling by some Buddleias. This bush is often full of butterflies having a snack.

Gorgeous :-) I love this community. I don't often comment, but it brightens up my feed so much.

Beautiful.

They do love buddleias and apparently admirals have done really well this year which is a surprise considering what a poor Summer it's been.

Yes, there were several Admirals hanging around this bush today, I’ve seen quite a few this year!

Look at that beauty. It's wonderful that they can find nutritious snackage.

More like Buddy-leias (because they are full of lil friends)

So beautiful! Those purple wing tips! The bright orange! And is that copper bluegreen around the thorax?
