[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Painted Lady group of colourful butterflies comprises the subgenus Cynthia of the genus Vanessa in the Family Nymphalidae. They are well known throughout most of the world.
The group includes:
the Painted Lady (Vanessa cardui), which is almost global in its distribution
Australian Painted Lady (Vanessa kershawi)
American (Painted) Lady (Vanessa virginiensis)
West Coast Lady (Vanessa annabella).
In general, the Painted Lady is a large butterfly (wing span 5--9–cm (2--2 7/8 in)) identified by the black and white corners of its mainly deep orange, black-spotted wings. It has 5 white spots in the black forewing tips and while the orange areas may be pale here and there, there are no clean white dots in them. The hindwings carry 4 small submarginal eyespots on dorsal and ventral sides. Those on the dorsal side are black, but in the summer morph sometimes small blue pupils are present in some.

Hola Pawel,

It seems that it was a big coincidence that we both presented pictures on painted lady on both platforms: TL and TN...its funny!

As always, you came up with another sharp shot with good use of daylight and nice POV. The colors of butterfly against green BG are well presented.

Thanks and regards,
Paras Bhalla

Hi Pawel,
A nice macro of this painted lady butterfly!
Fantastic details and sharpness adorned with fabulous lighting.
An unusual position but attractive!
A nice pink flower to complement.
Well done.
