This Painted Lady showed up on a stump in my yard for the second time yesterday. There are very few this year compared to the past several seasons where I live on the south shore of Lake Ontario. Jonathan

Haven't seen much in the way of butterflies yet this spring, not even any Mourning Cloaks, which is unusual.

I believe that is a Red Admiral. CD, I believe you are correct. It is a Red Admiral and not an Australian Painted Lady when I went online 6 years ago to identify the species. Haven't seen much in the way of butterflies yet this spring, not even any Mourning Cloaks, which is unusual. This was one of my first early sightings of that "brushfoot" with a Mourning Cloak. I have not seen a Mourning Cloak since. Jonathan

There has been an increase in numbers of Red Admirals - saw several yesterday and caught one on a stump with its wings briefly folded up. Jonathan

Beautiful pictures.
I have been looking for eggs or holes eaten in the leaves of the milk weed plant but can't seem to find any. I have a lot of milk weed a long some running water at the ranch. I would like to capture some eggs and try to go through the process to full butterfly.
