Yesterday, 16 May 2024, I saw a small, solitary, flight worn, Red Admiral flying about in my farm yard, This was the 1st time, in many years, that I've seen a spring migrant Red Admiral up here in NE Sask., Canada.

Several fairs are succesful in Europe, I don't see why it would not be a success in the US too. You can coorganize it with shell or mineral collectors, if you fear to lack visitors in the first years. (that's what they do in Modena fair in Italy).

Adam.
Yes, we have a State Park named after the plant.

They spread easily, the bog is finding a balance.. somewhere, my Venus Fly Traps and sundews have been crowded out
by the pitcher plants.
I'll have seeds later when the pods are mature.
I had to fence it in, the bog was doing well until the racoons found it, those guys are lucky to be cute.

Thank you both for your words of consolation.
P. rutulus is a pretty common butterfly in CA,
I hope to get more in the future.

Well done....

Those damages happen to all of us. Raise them for weeks or longer, wait, then hope you can dispatch them, spread and get it into a case without
breaking something off. More than once I went from flawless to arrgh.
I just realized, I have a new set of calipers. Perhaps I'll try them on the male rutulus I have on the board, an X-ova which I let hatch indoors a weeks ago.
Just over 90 mm for the male I have.

The wingspan is exactly 100 mm in the dried specimen.
