Adult mourning cloaks primarily feed on sap, ripe and fallen fruits and sugary exudate from aphids, very rarely seen nectaring on flowers.
Spotted sunning on an open wooded hillside.

Thanks Neil.
Beautiful spotting, Brian. That's a fine-looking butterfly, and I like the name despite it sounding gloomy. It does look like a cloak.
Thank you much Tukup!
Nice shot Brian. They are so cool. Thanks.
