Images of Nature by Kendall and Susanne Corbin

Painted Lady: Order Code Ai-21
Subject: Painted Lady, Vanessa cardui
Date: 8 September 2003
Locale: Eagan, Dakota County, Minnesota
Photographer:  Kendall W. Corbin

Comments:  Population numbers of Painted Ladies fluctuate greatly. When rare, the species over-winters where it is born. When abundant, however, the species migrates southward, but they do not then congregate in a single locality, as do Monarchs.
