Painted Lady




The Painted Lady  is well known for being a migatory butterfly.Here on the Isle of Wight it can first be seen in May,as in the photo feeding on Thrift,on the coastal clifftops.Into September and October it can still be found in near perfect condition.Unfortunately the Painted Lady does not seem to be able to survive our winters so in the spring new butterflies will spread to Britain from southern Europe

  1. Thank you for sending me a link. I have so enjoyed looking through your great photo's. I have never seen some of these (in Greece either). I can see that in Skiathos I am going to have to hunt out Scabious in the fields ;) Are you going to include some of your fabulous dragonflies too? I shall add you to my blogroll, sometimes I find it easier to keep up with blogs than Flickr ~ Chrissy
