Red Admiral Butterfly. The body is dark and fuzzy. Two long, thin antennae extend forward from the head, ending in small clubs. The late-day or low-angled sun casts a prominent, dark, heart-shaped shadow of the butterfly onto the ground to its left, mirroring the silhouette of its open wings. The butterfly is shown from a "dorsal" (top-down) view with its wings fully spread flat against a textured, grayish-brown gravel or asphalt surface. Its wingspan typically ranges from 1.75 to 3 inches (4.5 to 7.6 cm) A bold, diagonal red-orange stripe crosses the middle of each forewing. The outer tips (apex) of the forewings are jet black and decorated with several distinct white patches and dots of varying sizes.
