You might see plenty of orange painted lady butterflies around Britain this year since it's the biggest migration in 17 years. #paintedlady

Get set for a painted lady summer: big year for orange butterflies in Britain

Migrant insects have been seen in large numbers along east coast thanks to heatwave and benign southerly winds

It stared right into my soul for whatever reason (that, or it tried to tell me that my focus points are covered in dust).

A #PaintedLady came to visit yesterday (Vanessa cardui, #Distelfalter) - shot from a looong distance with maximum optical and some digital zoom. Hadn't known this #butterfly species but https://www.hr4.de/programm/themen/portraets-von-12-heimischen-schmetterlingsarten-v2,zwoelf-einheimische-schmetterlingsarten-100.html readily identified it.

Today I was down at the pond and spied 3 of these caterpillars on a single invasive Canada thistle plant (Cirsium arvense). Turns out they are painted lady butterfly caterpillars, which I noticed were here in fairly large numbers several weeks ago. Fun!
