[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 183721, member: 704"] I think that's a Red Admiral. I am seeing a lot of Fritillaries in my yard the past few days. The Viceroy you mentioned is a good example of what they call batesian mimicry. The poison in milk weed is taken up by the larvae of Monarchs and passed on to the adult. It makes them poisonous to birds. The Viceroy mimics the Monarch to keep birds away. You can debate this from a evolutionary standpoint and some will think it points to evolution, or you can admit it's simply part of God's creation. [/QUOTE]
