Red Admiral on Purple Coneflower. Red Admiral larvae feed on nettles. We have many nettles and therefore most years we have a large number of these at our place. Due to a very cold and wet spring our numbers are down significantly. The spring hatch of Red Admirals are often about 1/2 inch smaller than the later hatches but this year they are all small in size.
