Limenitis lorquini
Gorgeous admiral with dark wings with a row of flashing white squares on both sides of the wings and dark orange tips on the forewings.
An open meadow in the temperate rainforest of the Pacific Northwest. Previously cow pasture area.
There are only 2 species of admirals in British Columbia and this is the most common. However, this is only the second spotting I have made of them. Mesmerizing to watch them flitting about the meadow and then rising up to disappear in the surrounding trees.
