What an interesting butterfly! Moths, as far as I know Rob, are "fly-by-nights" and butterflies fly by day. This painted lady seems to taste the flower. They actually do it with their feet! :)

Ken, the Painted Lady (Vanessa Cardui), also called the Cosmopolitan in North America is smaller but similarly colored as Monarch butterflies. Their flight paths and migratory patterns are different than Monarchs . This summer and fall have seen a plethora of Painted Ladies in the midwestern states.
