The Red Admiral is a well-known colourful butterfly, found in temperate Europe, Asia and North America. The Red Admiral has a 45–50 mm wing span. - from Wikipedia

Notes:

I found this beautiful butterfly in my shed. I know that it was scared, so I quickly took couple of pictures and let it go. I hope my ID is correct.
