After hearing reports of a Red Admiral invasion to our south and actually seeing some sunshine, I checked out Kingsland Overlook in DeKorte Park for butterflies this afternoon.
All I can say is: Wow. The reports were not exaggerated. I saw 50+ Red Admirals (above), at least five American Ladies, three Question Marks and -- get this -- a Hummingbird Clear-winged Moth (below).
Pix of Question Mark and American Ladies follow. (Tough angles.)

Jim, the Red Admirals are EVERYWHERE down at DeKorte and the surrounding area. I saw at least a dozen on just a short walk.

Thanks for this. I was wondering what was up with all the butterflies today. They were speeding around all over the place.
