In southern parts of their range, white admiral butterflies are called red-spotted purples: there they lack white stripes and instead resemble toxic pipevine swallowtail butterflies, making them less appealing to predators. In Maine they have the stripes, which are thought to hide them from predators by breaking up their outline. They also tend to eat tree sap, rotting fruit, and dung, but do consume nectar from small white flowers like these clematis blossoms.
Printed on Fujifilm luster photographic paper with a satin sheen and fine texture, perfect for rich saturation and detail. (The second image shows other photographs from the collection, framed; prints are sold unmatted and unframed.)
If 24”×36” is what you’re looking for, that is possible but some photos work better than others. Drop me a note and we can discuss.
U.S. shipping only.
