Re: [cayugabirds-l] Ladies

Hi Bard,

I tried to determine which species mine were. They had strings of 4 - 5  
equal-sized submarginal black spots with blue centers both topside and 
underside of the hindwings, so I called them painted ladies (Vanessa cardui) 
rather than American ladies (Vanessa virginiensis). 

I was struck by how small the individuals in this fall generation are. Earlier 
in the summer I had some _big_ painted ladies, nearly the size of Great 
Spangled Fritillary.
