saoualiDescription
The Red Admiral ( Vanessa atalanta) a colorful butterfly. It migrates in late February from north Africa to Europe. Runs thru the straight of Gibraltar when it migrates from Morocco, and along the mediterranean coast when it take off from Algeria and Tunisia.
In this photo, he was probably charging his batteries to start his journey !
We expect to see it again in October, when he'll be back to spend winter in the warmth of North Africa !
