American Painted Lady

Another new butterfly for me- an American painted lady or just American lady. The two large eyespots on each hindwing are distinguishing features apparently. Another learning moment courtesy of 365 :-)

A wonderful find and capture on the pretty pink flowers and such a beautiful butterfly to see. We seem to be short of butterflies this summer.

@wendyfrost Thank you, Wendy. And yes, others have mentioned the absence of butterflies ( @susiemc and @pcoulson) because of all the rain you folks have been getting. I hope you get a decent stretch of sunshine to bring out the butterflies (and to lift spirits too, I imagine).
