Admirable Admiral
Date: September 4
Time: 3:25 PM
Location: 6.0 miles west of Ashland, Clay County, AL
Site: In a wooded area along a creek.
Weather: Skies clear with the wind from the NNW at 10 mph.
Temperature: 81o F
Notes: While recording some video of salamanders we had just discovered, we noticed a beautiful Red-spotted Purple Admiral hanging out nearby. It landed on the field pack that we had set on the ground. Using it's proboscis (mouth part that is kind of a long, curled straw), it appeared to be searching the pack's fabric for some food. Before we moved on, it was coaxed to spend a few moments with Doug.
