Limenitis camillaa have a very distinctive, elegant flight consisting of short periods of wing beats, followed by long glides. 
   They are found in woodland throughout southern Britain and much of Europe and the Palearctic, extending as far east as Japan. 
   Adult white admirals have dark wings with white bands. The contrasting colors help to break up the outline of the wing, camouflaging it from predators.    
   The female will lay its eggs singly on wisps of honeysuckle growing in dense woodland.
