Sun bather


As I began walking the trail this morning, some kind of large insects kept flying out of the grass from both sides of the path.  I finally realized they were red admiral butterflies, and I think they were likely feeding on the dandelions that covered the grass.  Apparently Ottawa had an invasion of them just recently.  I caught this one basking in the sun on the back of one of the benches.
