Red Admiral female ovipositing on Wood Nettle (Laportea canadensis)

I have several large pots of Wood Nettle and Stinging Nettle on my front porch. This female found them and is seen here laying an egg.

Ah-ha! I see a butterfly that we get here in the UK! It's called Red Admiral here too, for interest!
