The American Lady looks very much like the Painted Lady and a good way to tell them apart is by looking at their eyespots on their hindwings. The American Lady has 2 large ones and the Painted lady has 4 small ones.

Eyespots on all butterflies is a way to confuse predators. They think that the eyespots are their head so their predators will attack the wings instead, and the butterfly survives.

This medium size butterfly has a wing span of approximately 1 3/4 inches - 2 5/8 inches.

You know how happy I am when I can capture my subject's face. Yay!

Here you can clearly see the proboscis.

The End!
