When I went into the back yard in the early afternoon of February 16,2017, a red admiral landed on my sweatshirt and stayed a while. Unfortunately, I didn't have my phone (camera), so I had to go inside to get it. When I came back out, I saw it near the west fence. I let it flutter around for a while, and it eventually landed on a shredded leaf pile. I managed to take dozens of close-up photos with her staying in place and opening and shutting her wings.
