Description
A beautiful Painted Lady butterfly sips nectar from Zinnia blooms in a sunny Texas back yard.
The orange and black Painted Lady (Vanessa cardui) is one of the most common butterfly species in the world.
Unlike many butterflies, it does not become dormant during the winter and cannot survive heavy frosts or colder conditions. Therefore it migrates to warmer climates in winter.
Its size is in the 2.0" - 2.5" range.
