Description: In the recent post http://www.ispot.org.uk/node/316478 I was corrected by Richard Comont and I am most grateful.
Here then is another attempt (it HAS to be more successful) to show the Painted Lady in Orkney in 2009.
2009 was an exceptional year for this wonderful, strong flying, migrant.
I have posted the Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta) beside it to show the not very subtle differences!

My daughter (6) saw these advertised on tv and so desperately wanted them. they come as caterpillar eggs in a jar of food. All ten eggs successfully hatched, grew and turned into butterflies, which were released into the school field. 6-13 September 2012
