Painted Lady Vanessa cardui 10 Pupae

Painted Lady Vanessa cardui

In Europe this is a migrant butterfly from N. Africa and it is probably the only butterfly found on every continent of the world. Larval foodplants include Nettle and Thistle but they also take a variety of other herbaceous plants including Mallow and Burdock. Whilst pupae can be slowed down in winter, this is a continuously brooded species that is available at intervals throughout the summer.
