The outbreak of Painted lady's is, of course, the direct consequence of the 
large number of migrants that arrived in May/June. These succesfully bred on 
everything from garden Mallow and Hollyhocks to burdocks, artemesia and 
thistle and now the "made in Canada" generation is emerging and starting to 
mass for their rather disorganized southward migration, which is why they 
are common in coastal areas. It has been many years since we have had this 
kind of influx of painted ladies. The first two years of the butterfly atlas 
project only turned up 10 records. It would be easy to duplicate that 
numbner in ten or fifteen minutes this year.
