Limenitis arthemis, the red-spotted purple or white admiral, is a North American butterfly species in the cosmopolitan genus Limenitis.It has been studied for its evolution of mimicry, and for the several stable hybrid wing patterns within this nominal species; it is one of the most dramatic examples of hybridization between non-mimetic and mimetic populations.
Limenitis is a genus of brush-footed butterflies, commonly called the admirals. The sister butterflies ( Adelpha ) and commander butterflies ( Moduza ) are sometimes included here. The name Limenitis is Neo-Latin "of harbours", from Ancient Greek Λιμενιτις (from λιμήν, a harbour, haven).

Black widows make irregular or asymmetric webs, Medline Plus says, and the spiders can bite people when humans bump into their webs. The spiders also typically stay within a few feet of ground level.
Genus: Limenitis. The white admiral, Limenitis arthemis, and the viceroy (Limenitis archippus) can breed with each other and produce a hybrid known as a Rubidus; Family Pieridae. Genus: Colias. Colias eurytheme and C. philodice butterflies have enough genetic compatibility to produce viable hybrid offspring.
