Red Admiral Butterfly

The red admiral is a striking, medium-sized butterfly with predominantly black wings adorned with vibrant red-orange bands and white spots near the tips of its forewings. A fascinating aspect of its biology is its migratory behavior; while it can be found across North America, Europe, and Asia, in many temperate regions, including the UK, it is primarily a migratory species- arriving in the spring and summer from warmer southern areas. With recent temperature changes, increasing numbers are now overwintering in more northerly latitudes, suggesting a potential shift in its life cycle and residency status in some regions. Like many pollinators, habitat loss and pesticide use could pose potential challenges to its populations.
