I usually go by the one white spot in the orange part of the upper surface of the forewing, if I can see it. If the white spot is there, it's an American Lady, otherwise a Painted Lady.

GrammaChar said:Yes, the Dainty Sulphur and White Checkered Spot are pretty easy. It's the "Ladies" that confuse me. You posters are better at butterfly identification than I am, so correct me if I'm wrong. Painted Lady has four spots on the hindwing while the American Lady I I
has only two? It's hard to hang the camera AND the binoculars both around my neck at the same time.

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
