This beautiful Vanessa Atalanta or Red Admiral butterfly was sunbathing in my backyard this a couple of days ago.
They are quite common in our country, but I don't see them that much in my backyard. I've planted some flowers especially to attract flowers, but they didn't bloom yet this year.
The more surprised I was that this butterfly wasn't going for the flowers at all. It was resting on a planter in the sun.

Sometimes it's quite difficult to capture the 'beautiful' side of these butterflies since the bottom of their wings isn't as colourful as the other side.

Although it's less colourful it doesn't mean it's not pretty. I also like the zebra-striped feelers they have.

I tried to get in a bit closer to have a nice macro if it's head which reminds me a bit of a bat when it's this close.
