I live in southeast Michigan and I would like to know how Winter
resident status of Vanessa atalanta (Red Admiral) in our area could
be established. Sometimes we get a few Red Admirals early in April
(I also have a March 29 record of one near Toledo Ohio)that appear
on the scene one to two weeks before a major movement of ostensible
migrants occurs. Could these early butterflies be local over-
winterers or is it much more likely they are aberrant early migrants?
