The Australian Painted Lady is native to, as the name would suggest, Australia although they have gradually been dispersed westward of Australia by the wind, making it a fairly common sight in New Zealand as well. I was lucky enough to see this one at the end of January and luckier still to take a photo of it before it flew away.
