Yes, regarding the large numbers of Red Admirals, I've gotten several questions about why they come down and sit on people. Many people are mentioning that. That family Nymphalidae ("Nymphalids") are attracted to animal salts, sweat, waste etc. So, for all the people who say they've been "feeling like St. Francis" (with these animals coming down and walking around on them) it's the taste they like. Great fun, however.

This photograph was taken in NYC, during a Cinquo de Mayo parade which was joined by some young Koreans in their national dress. The vanessa looks like a jeweled brooch decorating the young woman's apparel. The photograph was taken by Larry Revene.
