On our butterfly walks here at the Arboretum this year, we saw two
Panted 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.
