Description
The orange and black Painted Lady (Vanessa cardui) is one of the most common butterfly species in the world. Painted ladies, commonly mistaken for monarch butterflies, are considered a cosmopolitan species that are found across the continental U.S. But once the temperatures get colder, days become shorter and plants die off, the butterfly makes its way to Arizona, New Mexico and northwestern Mexico to enjoy the Southwest winter. Its size is in the 2.0" - 2.5" range.
