Another Vanessa

Vanessa cardui, or Painted Lady. There are four species in the Vanessa genus and this summer I've now posted all three that are in my region, including
» yesterday's Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta) and
» June 30's American Lady (Vanessa virginiensis), http://365project.org/rhoing/365/2016-06-30

We get these as migrants from Southern Europe sometimes-always welcome. Nice capture in flight.
