Butterflies and SkippersIdentification of butterfly
To whom it may concern:
2) Also, could you give me the name of the butterfly, seen in Rustler’s Park in the Chiracauhua mountains, also in Portal, ARIZONA? I have attached an image of both sides of the butterfly. Thank you very much for your help!

Hi Irene,
What wonderful photos of the Painted Lady you have supplied to our website. The Painted Lady, Vanessa cardui, is a migratory species that often forms impressive swarms. We are relatively confident with this identification, but it might be a closely related species, the West Coast Lady, Vanessa annabella.
