Painted lady (Vanessa cardui)

This was one of three painted lady butterflies I saw yesterday. I also saw a cabbage white, some clouded sulphurs, and one very late orange sulphur. All were along a trail skirting woods and open fields. This one is perched near some yarrow flowers.

the autumnally-hued wings suit the seaonal setting so well, and the white spots are echoed in the dainty flowers...V
