Vanessa cardui
This butterfly has a strange pattern of flying in a sort of screw shape and very active. It has a swift flight but is very attracted to flowers. It is one of the first to be seen when the sun struggles to shine through grey clouds in the hill country. The painted lady butterfly travels around 1000 miles in its life and flies most of the island. It favors medium to high elevations, the higher the better. It is also known as a short distance migratory butterfly.
