Butterfly in Winter

[Gary Anweiler]

Although a Moth fanatic, I do live in the general environs so feel
qualified to provide a guess as to species.  Definitely a Nymphalid - and
probably either Nymphalis j-album, the Compton's Tortoiseshell (they were
commoner than usual last season), N. milberti - the Milbert's Tortoisehell,
or one of the Poly9nia sp.  The Red Admiral is also a possibility - but it
would be a longer shot.  I agree the Mourning Cloak would probably not get
called a red and black butterfly.
