Painted Lady Butterflys, (Vanessa cardui), on Purple New England Asters (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae). There is an amazing abundance of these butterflies this summer.
Painted Lady Butterfly On New England Asters 2. You can see this butterfly drinking nectar from flowers through it's proboscis, which function much like a straw.
This photo was Awarded Photo of the Day, on Capture My Vermont, for October 23, 2017.
Butterflys, or Flutterbys, as I like to call them, are fascinating creatures who take to the air on gossamer wings. They've come to symbolize metamorphosis. These remarkable pollinators display a diversity of colors and patterns.
