I'm seeing more than usual this Summer, after a 3 year dearth of them. Must be the Prunes serotina tree and butterfly feeder I installed this year. They FIGHT over the feeders!!

Absolutely! What an unnecessary time and money wasting endeavor. There is absolutely no plausible reason to mow medians.
A few "seed bombs" could benefit ditches and medians a lot too. Google for details and "recipes".
No terrorism here, either...
Pesticides be damned! Every one of us could save money and health by not using lawn services and spraying everything with more than 4 legs.
They're only bugs, for christ sake.
Flowers are half a garden. Bugs, birds and other animals make the other half. Flora and fauna.
The red is really subtle.

The spots are visible on the backside of the hind wings. They're pretty vivid
@Leafhead Very nice. Thanks!
I haven’t seen them around my flowers
