Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Painted Lady (Cynthia cardui) 2009 saw an exceptionally large influx of Painted Ladies all over Britain. This migratory butterfly does not hibernate and cannot survive the winter here, but commonly breeds anywhere where there are plenty of flowers for it to feed on. Judging by the clouds of Painted Ladies in the fields and gardens, this must have been a very successful breeding season. This is probably a recently hatched specimen, because its colour is bright orange and its wings in good condition. Older specimens tend to be paler or yellower, and to suffer damage to the edges of their wings. |
