Description
A Painted Lady butterfly sits atop a yellow zinnia in the summer garden. I added digital textures, lighting adjustments, and a painterly canvas finish to my original photo for artistic enhancement. A black and white version of this image is also available in my gallery.
The American Painted Lady (V. virginiensis) is most easily distinguishable by its two large hindwing eyespots on the ventral side. Virginiensis also features a white dot within the subapical field of the forewings set in pink on the ventral side, and often as a smaller clean white dot in the orange of the dorsal side too. The black forewing tips have four to five white spots; usually the largest is whitish orange.
