Any time your welcome. I used to get confused myself but the tortoiseshell is far more common and the admiral a bit brighter in colour. I love the painted lady - like the admiral but faded! Years ago when we had a real cottage garden in Wiltshire there was an infestation of them - not quite the right word but they were everywhere, apparently blown over from Africa!
