Spotted this butterfly while out walking round the edge of a lagoon today.
I originally named his 'Monarch' as I believed it to be a Monarch Butterfly but now think I was mistaken. Perhaps a NZ Red Admiral? Does anyone know for sure?
Thanks for any comments which are always welcome and apppreciated.
