    The Red Admiral

     Vanessa atalanta , the red admiral or, previously, the red


    admirable, is a well-characterized, medium-sized butterfly with
    black wings, red bands, and white spots. It has a wingspan of
    about 2 inches. It was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his
    1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. The red admiral
    caterpillar eats plants in the Urticaceae, or nettle family. Adult
    red admirals usually eat rotting fruit, tree sap, and bird
    droppings. The red admiral is found in moist woods and
    forests, yards, parks, meadows, marshes, and fields.
    The Orange Oakleaf

     Kallima inachus, the orange oakleaf, Indian oakleaf


    or dead leaf, is a nymphalid butterfly found in
    Tropical Asia from India to Japan. With wings closed,
    it closely resembles a dry leaf with dark veins and is a
    commonly cited example of camouflage. They feed
    on sap, over-ripe fruit, and nutrients found in
    puddles (this is called mud-puddling)The orange
    oakleaf is a powerful flier and usually flies in dense
    forests with good rainfall, amongst undergrowth
    and along stream beds. It is attracted to tree sap and
    over-ripe fruit, and is also known to mud-puddle.
    The Cabbage White

     Pieris rapae is a small- to medium-sized butterfly species of the


    whites-and-yellows family Pieridae. It is known in Europe as
    the small white, in North America as the cabbage white or
    cabbage butterfly, on several continents as the small cabbage
    white, and in New Zealand as the white butterfly.The velvety
    green caterpillars of the Cabbage White Butterfly are
    considered a pest because they feed on cabbages and other
    plants found in vegetable gardens, such as cauliflower,
    brussel sprouts, broccoli, radishes and turnips.It lives
    in urban areas, forests and woodlands, and heath.
    The Painted Lady

     Vanessa cardui is the most widespread of all butterfly


    species. It is commonly called the painted lady, or formerly
    in North America the cosmopolitan and it is the most
    common species of butterfly in the world. painted lady can
    be seen in Durer's Madonna with the Iris, where it
    symbolises the crucifixion. The white butterflies on the
    other hand represent purity and hope. Less colourful, even
    dowdy, butterflies are also used in art to reflect our
    fears. Adults drink nectar from flowers. Caterpillars eat
    thistles, stinging nettles and mallows. The painted lady
    (Vanessa cardui) is the most widespread of all butterflies in
    the world. It is found throughout Europe, Asia, Africa,
    North America, and Central America.
    The Common Brimstone

     Gonepteryx rhamni is a butterfly of the family Pieridae. It lives throughout


    the Palearctic zone and is commonly found across Europe, Asia, and North
    Africa. Across much of its range, it is the only species of its genus, and is
    therefore simply known locally as the brimstone. Its wing span size is 60 -
    74 mm. Adults: feed on nectar. A long proboscis (sucking mouthpart)
    enables them to take nectar from flowers, such as teasel, that are beyond the
    reach of many other butterflies. They prefer to drink from purple flowers,
    and bluebells are an important early nectar source. They can be found
    in damp woodlands, along sunny, woodland rides and mature
    hedgerows, and in large gardens. The foodplants of the larvae are
    buckthorn and alder buckthorn.
