Painted Lady Butterfly: Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve at Laudholm Farms, Wells, Maine, USA, October 2025 — The Painted Ladies are coming back through southern Maine. This one was at the edge of one of the old orchards at Laudholm Farms, enjoying the fallen apples…the more bruised and fermented the better apparently. Such a dainty lady to be at such an earthy trough. Sony a6700. Sigma 16-300 @ 450mm equivalent. Program with insect medications. Processed in Luminar Mobile.
