Small black and red butterfly
Seen in city centre garden in Liverpool, North West England
First seen flying around in yard but then spotted sitting basking on air brick - it sat here for a quite a while - much longer than I've ever seen a butterfly sit before - and didn't fly off when I started taking photos.
Thank you so much - that's exactly what it is (I looked at google image with that name!). It crossed my mind it might be a moth when I couldn't find it in my butterfly field guide! Thanks again!
