The Painted Lady butterfly (Vanessa cardui) is one of the most widespread butterfly species in the world, found on every continent except Antarctica and South America. Easily recognized by its orange, black, and white patterned wings, it is a strong flier and known for its long-distance migrations, sometimes traveling thousands of kilometers from North Africa to Europe. The caterpillars feed on a wide range of host plants, including thistles and mallows. Unlike many butterflies, the Painted Lady doesn't hibernate but migrates seasonally, often in massive, visually striking swarms.
