Red Admiral Butterfly

by June
(Scotland)

I saw a Red Admiral Butterfly caught in a spiders web, managed to get it out, the butterfly was lively but could not fly. I gave it sugar water and wild flowers from the garden and when the sun shone took it outside to see if it could fly. It flapped its wings but just walked around. That was 4 days ago, the butterfly has hardly moved since last night, do they stay still like this if the weather is colder or does anyone know if it is dying, I am not very clued up with butterflies but I have done my best. Any help would be gratefully received, thanks
