Painted Lady (Vanessa Cardui)
I think Vanessa Cardui (the Painted Lady butterfly's Latin name) would make a great stage name. Hollywood here I come!
This Painted Lady was sipping goldenrod nectar and would barely stay still, in a feeding frenzy to drink as much in as possible while the sun was shining.
Another view
Hmmm. Was the butterfly trying to tell me something?
I am linking to Saturday Critters HERE.

I wonder if goldenrod tastes anything like a mint julep? :-)
Just beautiful!
Wonderful shots! I love the lighting. Love the butterfly, too.
It is a beautiful butterfly. It would also make a great character name.
