Description This lovely "West Coast Lady" butterfly is snacking on rabbitbrush. Pic taken at Game Creek. Special thanks to Barbara (*barcon53 ) for reminding me how much fun it is to hunt butterflies with a camera.

Lovely capture! By coincidence, it's the same type as I found too!

They must be hardier than some of the others... I did not see much variety on my outing. Still, I was delighted to see several of the painted ladies. They are eye candy!

They are, especially if you can get the other sides pattern too.

Isn't it amazing that they can look so different depending upon which view you take?! When I first began photographing them I didn't realize that you often need both views to ID them.
