The butterfly from yesterday was identified as a Painted Lady (Vanessa cardui - Linneus 1758). As
The upperside is orange-brown with darker wing bases. The forewing has a black apex patch and white bar on leading edge. The hindwing with a submarginal row of 5 small black spots sometimes has blue scales.
The underside has a black, brown, and gray pattern with 4 small submarginal eyespots.
As you can see they love the nectar from asters.
