Painted Lady
Flight period: April to October.
The Painted Lady is a highly migratory butterfly which can be found almost throughout the UK although its numbers vary greatly from year to year. It is thought that the entire population dies each winter and re-colonisation through immigration occurs each spring. As a migrant, they can be found almost anywhere but do prefer dry, open areas.
