Welcome to Project Noah CaitlynAnderson! Your butterfly is an American Painted Lady. On the dorsal view that you have here, it can be distinguished from the Painted Lady ( V. cardui ) by a white dot within one of the forewing orange cells, well visible on your picture. I hope this makes sense :-) Check our faq page to learn more about the site, and find out about some fun and useful features such Missions.
