I would be ever so grateful for confirmation that this is a Painted Lady please?

She/he was seen earlier today on the Erith Marshes.

As always, a million thanks in advance ~ Mike …..

Yes, Painted Lady it is.

Dear Ayjay,

Howdy; thanks. I feel a bit of a goof asking but starting out in this game (Butterflies, Moths &c.) I prefer to make a bit of a goof of myself by asking for clarification of the seemingly obvious rather than making automatic assumptions.

That way, I can build my confidence.

Thanks very much.

Kind regards ~ Mike ….

Good spot!! I haven't seen a Painted Lady thus far in 2014 even though I live near the coast.

Thanks; I'm sure you'll see one very soon …..
