On our butterfly walks here at the Arboretum this year, we saw two Painted Ladies on April 1 and those are the only Vanessa's we've seen this year, so far.

  I would agree that it has been a poor year for Vanessas; but I just saw a Red Admiral and an American Painted Lady at Sunday at Bristol, Rhode Island; and I saw numerous Painted Ladies both in western Arizona in February and in Greece last month...

    While Monarchs have been doing pretty well in southeast Michigan this
season, all three Vanessa species have been extremely scarce. In fact no one
who reports sightings for the Greater Washtenaw County Butterfly Survey has
spotted a Painted Lady yet this year. Definitely it is the worst year for
Vanessas in the survey's 12 year history.
