'The painted lady is a large butterfly marked predominantly with orange and black. White spots tip the forewing; dark eyespot markings occur on both the upper and lower sides of the hind wing.'

The American painted lady or American lady (Vanessa virginiensis)[2] is a butterfly found throughout North America.

The larvae feed on various Asteraceae, such as the cudweeds (genus Gnaphalium), the pussytoes (Antennaria), and the everlastings (Anaphalis), which all belong to tribe Gnaphalieae.[3] All stages of the life cycle can be found throughout temperate North America as well as Madeira and the Canary Islands. Occasionally individuals can be found as far as southwest Europe. It has been introduced to Hawaii where it is one of four Vanessa species.[4]
