Spread before you is the painted lady, a butterfly whose open wings show a mosaic of patches with crisp white spots near the wingtips and softly scalloped edges. A fuzzy body and two thin antennae sit at the center of the symmetrical pattern. The many small patches give this page a patchwork feel that is fun to fill with a mix of colors, while still being clear enough for middle-grade colorists to enjoy. Painted ladies are one of the most widespread butterflies in the world, found on nearly every continent, and they are famous for long migrations across great distances. Their real coloring blends orange, brown, black, and white, but your painted lady can wear any palette you choose. Take your time matching the patches on each wing. Print it on US Letter or A4 and color this well-traveled beauty.

Coloring Tips

  • Mix warm tones — orange, brown, and rust shades echo the painted lady's real patchwork wings.
  • Keep the tips white — color around the wingtip spots so those crisp white marks stay bright.
  • Mirror the mosaic — match each patch on the left and right wings for a true symmetrical pattern.
