RE: [cayugabirds-l] Painted ladies

2017-09-25 Thread David Ruppert 
Saturday we have had at least 12 Painted Ladies in our zinnia bed.  I took 
numerous photos with a long lens and every one was a Painted Lady, no American 
Painted Ladies.  They returned yesterday and again today.

Big Painted Lady irruption this year, was detected early elsewhere, and now 
coming through our neck of the woods. The species has an almost worldwide 
distribution, and is famous for their migrations, but they're irruptive and 
irregular (another way of saying we don't fully understand when and why it 
happens, I think).

Haven't noticed any American Painted Ladies among this lot; they're harder to 
tell apart from above, easier from below (four small eyes instead of two big 
eyes). I'm using this opportunity to get familiar with the few upperside 
patterns that distinguish them from American.
