Buffeted by the weather??


I caught this well-worn Red Admiral butterfly this afternoon close to the trail's entrance, seemingly soaking up the sunshine. I wonder if all the rain and wind had anything to do with its condition. According to one article I read, the ideal environment for a butterfly is sunny for up to six hours each day with minimal wind. Continuous rain hampers their ability to fly.
