Vanessa cardui
Vanessa cardui, the painted lady butterfly, can be found everywhere except Antarctica and South America. It migrates from Africa to Europe in the spring, and occasionally in the fall as well. These butterflies don’t have red receptors in their eyes meaning they are not sensitive to red light.
