Hi cigdemckn. I just read the description. Unfortunately you have to delete this spotting, since it is not your own, even if you have seen the same butterfly yourself you are not allowed to post pictures of other photographers. So you have to wait for springtime to look for another one. Thanks for understanding!

Wonderful spotting!! The common name would be "Red Admiral". The Painted Lady is Vanessa cardui from the same family Nymphalidae.
