The Western Painted Lady is native to South America. I found it to be very similar to the
Painted Lady (V. cardui) commonly found in Europe. The most notable difference is that
carye has a set of four big blue centered ocelli on it's hindwings. This is the reason for the butterfly's local name "Dama cuatro ojos" - "Four Eyes Lady".
Another butterfly related to carye I found also in Argentina was
Vanessa braziliensis, which has a set of two ocelli on the hindwings.
