To my untrained eye, they look like "Painted Ladies" and they've been hanging around my Zinnias, too.

I have observed substantial numbers of a medium sized butterfly (moth?)
lingering on my zinnias this week. They are very pretty, and not shy, therefore, I
suppose they are highly destructive to habitat (irony).


To my untrained eye part of their wing looks like a monarch; closer to the
body is even more dazzling color and pattern. Cute.

I think they have moth type bodies; but do not ask me why.
