Re: Where are the Red Admirals?

I saw one yesterday near Painswick Beacon in Gloucester. Seems a good year for painted laides and even saw a Marbled white.

Kind of relevant,
but if you find a food plant and see evidence of feeding, you can often find the reason by looking a bit harder for lava an do regular checks? Or if you see a butterfly flying around foodplant its could be laying eggs so worth looking out for them also?
