American Lady Butterfly

Description:

Vanessa virginiensis is most easily distinguishable by its two large eyespots on the ventral side, whereas V. cardui has four small eyespots and V. annabella has none. V. virginiensis also uniquely features a white dot within the forewing subapical field, set in pink on the underside and usually also in the dorsal side's orange field

Habitat:

Widespread throughout.

Notes:

I originally thought it was a painted lady, but it didn't look exactly right. When I looked up American Lady, it was exact. This is my first sighting of an American Lady
