Great photo Debra. Some of the genus are predators so there's a chance.....

The zoom on my camera is not very good for clarity, but I didn't want to risk scaring it off.

That's a Red Admiral Debra. Hurray! Hurray!
Adult Food: Red Admirals prefer sap flows on trees, fermenting fruit, and bird droppings; visiting flowers only when these are not available. Then they will nectar at common milkweed, red clover, aster, and alfalfa, among others.
