Description
Adult butterflies and caterpillars breathe through a series of tiny openings along the sides of their bodies called spiracles. Painted ladies live for about a year, from egg to death. Adults live for about ten to twenty-four days. The painted lady's favorite food is a thistle or hollyhock. In this case with the beautiful asters, there was about one hundred and fifty painted ladies on the asters on the day I took this photo. Of course, I'm sure it was more, because I had trouble counting them all and I was only at that spot for about an hour or two. It was a magical time and a lot of fun! There was also sulfur butterflies, monarchs and two tiger butterflies while I was there. The Fine Art America watermark will not appear on your purchase. Ideal for your office or home. You can choose from a fine art canvas print, pillow, greeting cards, puzzles, and many other home decor products are available.
