I just love Painted Lady butterflies!
They are so beautiful and they love the zinnias which made a great backdrop for them.
A side view....right in the center of the flower.
I was hoping to see an American Painted Lady, also. Instead of the 4 small "eyes" on the hindwings, it has 2 large ones. I've only seen one once before.
Same butterfly, same flower :-)
When we first saw it, it was on the ground sunning itself maybe?
It likes the other flowers, too.

Hi Mary
long time no look. but I am back in my beautiful Wales. done lots of photography and done things I never had the time to do before I retired.Will not talk about Egypt not happy at the way the muslims treat us Christians,
but thats the way it is .
list of my blogs are on myegypt.co.uk lots of steaming things for the men folk on there too. now autumn is here I will be spending more time at home lots to put on my blogs,
Thanks for letting me know what their name is. I had some earlier in July and Aug. But no more until just yesterday. I had the "American painted Lady" earlier, I guess, as they had the 2 big eyes. I called them a 'dog face' - because of the eyes :)yesterdays was the 4 small eyes. maybe I'll get to posting my 'American' on my photoblog. What is the difference between the blue and the brown eyes on the American? Do you know? I had both versions.
Loved these shots. thanks for sharing them

I always love the Painted Ladies. Love your first 2 photos.
Thanks everyone for stopping by and the nice comments. Glad to see you back, Tony and will check your blogs. Hello Patrina and Leedra! I have no idea about the blue and brown eyes on the American. Didn't see anything in the butterfly book about it.
Boy, I have really missed out on butterflies this year...I have not seen a single Painted Lady.
