Red Admiral Butterflies Pins and Buttons

Vanessa atalanta, the red admiral or, previously, the red admirable is a well-characterized, medium-sized butterfly with black wings, red bands, and white spots. It is known as an unusually people-friendly butterfly, often landing on and using humans as perches.

Often photography of moving subjects is the most tricky to achieve - but with the advent of modern constant tracking focus systems and a very good hand - it is possible to get relatively sharp images of wildlife in flight... A friend mentioned that they loved butterflies and so I had this in mind... although I have much better images in tow ~ I wanted to post this as I am quite impressed at the accuracy of the capture - with two courting butterflies on the wing. A completely natural shot ~ although I have chosen to add a contrasting blue background to add more contrast to the colourful courting red admirals.

Butterflies eat rotting meat and blood if they can get it. They're landing on you because they're trying to liquify and drink you. Goth AF.
