American lady (Vanessa virginiensis) on purple loosetrife

Luskville area of Gatineau Park. This very fresh butterfly was nectaring on purple loosestrife, flying from plant to plant. Many species of butterflies and other insects make good use of this alien plant as a nectar source.

What a beautiful butterfly. I first thought it might be two of them because of the big wings and the way they are formed. Perfect, Christine. V
