Description
Some years the painted lady butterflies (Vanessa cardui) migrate through the Midwest in great numbers and such was the case in 2020 when I took this close-up on one sipping nectar from the spiny center of a pink coneflower (Echinacea). The insects were so interested in feeding that I was able to get quite close as I took photos.
