Description
There are two varieties, the Painted Lady and the American Painted Lady, both common in this area. I was thinking this was the American Painted Lady, but based on "Leeco"'s post yesterday and some googling, I think this might be the Painted Lady instead.
Thanks very kindly for your views and comments.

Lovely shot!
Wonderful macrophotography my friend......!!!!
Beautiful capture and light!
We get Painted Ladies in the southern UK, but they are only migrant summer visitors from the European mainland. They are larger than most of our native species, except the Purple Emperor - that isn't seen often as it lives in the treetops of our woodlands
Excellent capture Maria.
Beautiful work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whichever version this is, it's lovely.
Really beautiful ;O)
That beautiful butterfly.... all happiness gives these insects.... They make happy the garden... A brilliant shot!!! My congratulations Roby
Beauty of a shot!
Superb macro photography, beautiful butterfly.
stunning macro. Perfect!!!
Great focus and detail. I saw 4 of these emerge from their chrysalis about 2 weeks ago and let them go in the yard. Maybe they will come back for a photo. ;-)
