Hey Jack, that's a cute skipper photo. I think you have a painted lady there (instead of a red admiral) though. They are just now showing up in my garden too.

Here are a few from a monitoring route I did last week.

I was so happy to see this female eastern tiger swallowtail laying eggs. Always makes me happy to see that. I don't know how many of the cats survive though when the host plant is in the middle of a bunch of grassland that hosts birds.
