RED ADMIRAL

Basking on brambles I snapped this red admiral butterfly


Here's a rather better photo but not mine.  Velvety black with red strips, and white spots at the wing tips.
 

Don't confuse it with the small tortoiseshell, which is mainly orange with black and yellow on the leading edge of the wings and small blue crescent-shaped spots round the rear edges.
