Description
This little butterfly is called a Painted Lady (some times called American Painted Lady.) The scientific name is Vanessa Virginiensis. I used to see them frequently and throughout the warm periods of our Ohio seasons. This was taken in October of 2011 when my Chrysanthemums were in glorious bloom. The bright pink was just too much for this pretty little butterfly to resist. We spent quite a nice bit of time together enjoying the final beauty of that summer in my garden.
Spotting these beauties has become a bit more difficult in recent years. The numbers of butterflies visiting my garden has dropped noticeably. I'm not sure what all the reasons for that are, but I have to assume human activity is causing disturbance to these delicate creatures habitats. I think it is important for us to pay attention to even these tiny changes in our environment, because everything is connected. For their lives and for our peace, tranquility and enjoyment, plant some wildflowers and enjoy them!
Thank you so much for looking at my images. I appreciate that very much.
I am very concerned with our environment and have decided to donate any money I make from any sales of this image to the ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND.....because the Earth needs a good lawyer! We all need to speak up and support efforts to protect our environment. We will not get a second chance!
