Painted Lady (Vanessa cardui)



Brush-footed Butterfliy (Nymphalidae)

 

A very common butterfly.  This one is sipping nectar from a butterfly bush flower. The Painted Lady can be seen visiting gardens and meadows around the world.






I think this is a Silvery Checkerspot (Chlosyne nycteis).  Resting on a Purple Cone Flower leaf.
