Luvachicken Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I wasn't sure where to post this, so thought I'd settle for here I'm not as hot on butterflies as I am on birds. Today a pretty big orange butterfly with brown spots came in the house. I managed to catch it and set it free but I don't know what butterfly it was. I think it could have been a Painted Lady but don't have a decent butterfly book to look at. I was hoping my Omlet friends could suggest a book for me that has photos rather than drawings. I had a quick look on Amazon but would like your advice first before I order anything Many thanks xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I do have some books on birds and other animals, but more often revert to online databases. This one seems quite good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmashazzie Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Luvachicken I am becoming entrapped by my iPad. Now if there's something I don't know I googl it. I googled orange butterfly and up came lovely photos descriptions etc. I do prefer to read novels in book form but for info the web is hard to beat.

Luvachicken Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 Thanks both Cat tails, I've just used your page and what I saw was not a Painted Lady - so I have learnt something already. I think it is one of those Fritillary ones but not sure which one. Just going to google as Grandmashazzie has suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
