The American Lady is a beautifully patterned butterfly recognized for its warm orange wings marked with black patches and distinctive white spots near the tips. The underside features a more muted, intricate pattern with subtle eye spots, giving it a balanced and detailed appearance.
Vanessa virginiensis is found across much of North America and is commonly seen in open fields, gardens, and disturbed habitats. It is a strong flier and often observed feeding on nectar or basking in sunny areas.
Interesting Fact:
The American Lady can be distinguished from the Painted Lady by the presence of two large eye spots on the underside of the hindwings, rather than four smaller ones.
This specimen is preserved in a traditional papered format, carefully folded for safe storage and transport. In this unspread state, the specimen remains flexible and is ideal for future mounting or long-term collection storage.
Details:
• Species: Vanessa virginiensis
• Papered specimen (unspread, not mounted)
• Stored in protective paper triangle
• Suitable for pinning, spreading, or study
• Collection data included
All specimens are ethically sourced and collected responsibly with a focus on sustainability and minimal impact on wild populations.
