Today has been a very warm one for this late date in December and the warmth is almost certainly the reason for this butterfly being out and about. It was so hot this morning that I was playing golf wearing my normal trousers and a short sleeved open neck shirt.(No Vest).
By rights we should be in the temperature zero region at this time so global warming has almost certainly caused this freak weather, Have a Happy New Year.

I've often seen these butterflies out on warm days in winter, as they are a type that hibernate as adults, so are one of the earliest seen in spring, but a warm day can bring them out too early. The fact that there are a lot of warm days during what should be winter is a sign of global warming though.

Could be global warming.
The Red Admiral is probably Britain's most well known butterfly, and certainly one of the most beautiful, with it's almost perfect pattern of red bands and white spots on a black background.
It is unusually early to see an adult, they normally arrive from europe in spring.
We have had an unusually mild winter, so who knows?
Have a look at the web site,

No, it is due to a mummy red admiral and a daddy red admiral, who love each other very much, coming together and deciding that their lives need that extra something. So after much dating, chocolates, flowers, etc, mummy red admiral finally lets daddy red admiral xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I do not believe in global warming, it is a con to get more money from us. Every so many years the weather changes, and that is what it is doing now, changing.

It's been a very mild winter so far, quite a few insects haven't gone in to hibernation yet. Global warming? maybe.

You sure it wasnt a colourful moth, this is totally the wrong time of year for butterflies and they wouldnt survive these temps.

its due to light reflecting off it(presumably from the sun) and then reflecting through your pupils and focusing on your retina and then being taken to your brain so it can be turned the right way up
