ABOUT THE PAINTED LADY
The painted lady butterfly featured in this print, is a long-distance migrant. It spreads northwards from the Middle East, North Africa, and central Asia, recolonising mainland Europe and reaching Great Britain and Ireland. This beautiful orange and black butterfly regularly frequents gardens and other flowery places in late summer. The painted lady is also known as the thistle butterfly, because thistle plants are its favourite nectar plant for food, and for its caterpillar.
