American Lady ButterflyWell, I'm learning all about butterflies and moths the last couple 3 weeks. I'm taking the photos on my walks then going back and googling the ID. I am surprised at how small they are. It's wonderful to see a variety of these colorful winged creatures as the backyard birding is pretty quiet right now.
HaPpY FaLL!!
everyone!

great shot Cindy - my biggest problem with butterflies is getting the shot so I can later look it up. Most of the colorful ones here are gone now. Now I can't wait for spring again seeing your shot.
What a BEAUTIFUL Lady!! Great capture my friend!
Nice flutter Cindy. Not unlike our Painted Lady (Vanessa cardui).
Our butterfly season is more or less at an end but I have enjoyed chasing them during the quieter summer months. Hope you have the same fun. Cheers FAB.
A most stunning butterfly! Spectacular image!
Thanks for the kind comments, Dan! My eyes are trained now as I walk along because these butterflies are so small (a little over an inch across). They look big in the picture, though.
Kerri...the expert photographer...thank you for the compliment :-)
Thanks for commenting, Frank! I read that this butterfly can be mistaken for a Painted Lady, but, the 2 distinct white eye spots on the forewings and 2 blue tinted eyeholes on the hind-wings, set it apart.
Julie, thanks much for the kind comments!
I agree it can be fun searching for ID's after an adventure. It is amazing how many different varieties there are when you start digging. Beautiful American Lady Cindy!
Debbie, thank you for commenting on this photo!
