Nice series Brian

I really enjoyed your series of butterflies!

Thank you. I have more pics to submit of other butterflies but waiting for a TBG docent to help me identify all of them.

Carol Palmer, docent at the Tucson Botanical Garden Butterfly House says: "is Vanessa cardui, Painted Lady, Family Nymphalidae, flies over much of the summer here and can be found over most of the world except for the ice caps. Larval foods include thistles ( Asteraceae), mallows ( Malvaceae), and fiddlenecks (Boraginaceae). This one is also fairly easy to raise for educational purposes." Comment forwarded by Brian Gersten.
