Red Admiral, again

Hi, It seems we are having another influx of Red Admirals from the south. I have been seeing them flying from a southern to north easterly direction for a few days now. Only a tenth of the large influx we had over a month ago. We now have some nectar plants open, but only Butterfly Bushes, and mostly Common Milkweed with scattered others in between. Some areas have a lot of Crown vetch and Black Eyed Susan's in full bloom, mostly along roadways. To see the Admiral up close like this really shows off its handsome coloration. Here is both wings up and top side view too. Have a Great Day, Denis
