The extraordinary burst of Painted Lady activity repeated yesterday evening. Within a few minutes I counted nine.
One had found this Amsonia (a US prairie native) but most were mobbing the Phuopsis. The valerian clumps were in shade.

Monarchs are rightly celebrated but the Painted Lady (Cynthia [Vanessa] cardui) also makes an epic migration. Centranthus is like a magnet to them. In the space of two minutes I saw five of them on a clump. Pristine, as you can see.
When refreshed, they hurtle on at great speed, level and direct. They are on a mission.
2026 is seeing a huge migration. Silver Y moths are turning up in large numbers too. Valerian is written off as a weed. For migrating species it is a high energy drink lifeline. Plant more!

Good afternoon strangers! Have a #butterfly. Breathe a bit.
They aren't around for too long so savor the discovery, this moment of intersection in your otherwise disparate lives. Be kind.

A good year for Painted Ladies (Vanessa cardui) several having been spotted locally, having arrived with the heat waves to N Wales from southern climes. Gives me a thrill to welcome them 🥰

Globetrotting not in the genes
New insights into the #paintedLady butterfly’s annual migrationA group of scientists shows that the different #migration strategies are shaped by environmental conditions rather than being encoded in the #butterfly’s DNA.

We had a blast of summer yesterday, & with it an influx of butterflies into our garden. I was excited to see the only Painted Lady this year, & a Red Admiral - both species Vanessa. I got my phone out & got a quick shot. But when Iooked at the photo the Painted Lady isn’t there! The butterfly here is definitely a Comma!? Maybe the Painted Lady flew off seconds before I pointed my camera?

Painted Lady visitor
Butterflies and bees love the open dahlias in our garden, though this year's weather has brought us more leaves than blooms. When the rain eventually stops, the flowers are buzzing and alive with flying and creeping things.
Have a lovely Thursday, FediFriends.
