Painted Lady - Moved
Check all the following that apply to this image:
Please check adult (moth/butterfly) and/or immature (egg/caterpillar/pupa) when submitting to Lepidoptera.
If you don't know for sure, don't check it. For example: for caterpillars check immature and for butterflies and moths check adult.
If the photo shows mating behavior, check both male and female.

Thanks. It becomes second nature after a while. Hang in there.

(I already checked the boxes on these images.)
