Butterfly sighting in the Mission

General February 7th, 2008

I’m a few months late with this post but I saw some butterflies in the Mission here in San Francisco just a few blocks from my house. The bush that they were so into has since been trimmed back. I’ve seen a few more butterflies up on Bernal Heights Hill and at Holly Park. Also three not-so-wild racoons in the Haight. San Francisco has some wildlife!

(If anyone can positively identify the butterfly species, please let me know!)

    Hi, mang – It looks like a Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta) – although a little worse for wear. Here is another view: http://tinyurl.com/9hkeok

    Awesome, thanks! Unfortunately the last time I went by that bush they’d trimmed it down considerably and there was a lot less butterfly action!
