White Admiral?

This one looks to me like a White Admiral, though I could be wrong.  Apparently a White Admiral has a span of some 6cm but this was much smaller, around 3cm I would guess.  Caught it supping on some Asters this morning.  There were three there, all told.

Super photographs...but I haven't a clue about the butterfly.

Thanks Fly!

It is a Map Butterfly - so called because of the underwing patterns - an interesting species because the spring brood is almost unrecognisable from the second, late summer brood.

Check out on Google images

For a moment I thought you were flogging rum.
