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.
Absolutely EG, it has a slightly French sound to it n'est pas :) She is a beauty, I had a creature with wings turn its back to me today also :)
