Butterfly - Vanessa atalanta

Size: Painted Lady size
On buddleia. These were abundant this summer. I thought they were Painted Ladies, but the forewing markings are too simple for that.

Yep, that's it
Now I'm not sure we have Painted Ladies here.

Will move to the species page. As usual for butterflies, most of the California images come from a couple of counties down south. The N half of the state is underrepresented.
