Vanessa cardui
Vanessa cardui, the painted lady butterfly, can be found everywhere except Antarctica and South America. It migrates from Africa to Europe in the spring, and occasionally in the fall as well. These butterflies don’t have red receptors in their eyes meaning they are not sensitive to red light.

A light drizzle greeted us during our lunch break. Butterflies were flying wild and I along with a classmate ran after them to catch a few. We were so engrossed that we missed the school bell and by the time we realized and reached our class, we were almost drenched. The teacher duly punished us of course. I was in Class 4 and like most kids, was fascinated by butterflies.
Later that day, after reaching home I told my mother about the fun we had catching butterflies. She told me that one should never catch a butterfly, as touching them would make their wings heavy and that would hamper their flying. I never tried to catch one by the wing from that day.
Decades later, while shooting birds, I also photographed butterflies, bugs, flowers and what not. But, my interest in butterflies increased many folds after I met Chandrima. She is a butterfly enthusiast and the trips with her have been rich with butterflying adventure.
This photograph is of the Painted Lady (Vanessa cardui) butterfly, which is the most widespread of all butterfly species.
