Painted Lady?


And this little Buckeye landed on my arm and stayed there while I walked around and took photos. Some of the kids there were jealous. Na Na-na-na Na! LOL!

My favourite is the cabbage white on the white flowers! Subdued colouring lets me focus on the shapes!!

Wow! I especially like the brown and pink one because I love those two colors together...And that's so funny, I live in a town called Buckeye!

Maybe I can help identify, but in case I make a mistake...
the one with red could be small postman butterfly.
