Painted Lady

Painted Lady, Vanessa cardui. Sony DSC-HX20V f4.5 18mm 1/320 ISO 100


It’s enough to turn a chap’s head – although based on the shape of the abdomen, I think this Lady is a bloke?

Interesting Painted Lady fact: This is the only butterfly species ever to have been recorded in Iceland.
