Two Migratory Butterflies

This November I have frequently seen two kinds of butterflies.

The Monarch butterfly (Danaus Plexippus) is coming from the north

and migrating south, to Baja California (according to the field guide).

The Painted Lady butterfly (Vanessa cardnui) is coming from the south

from as far away as Mexico (according to the field guide)

and migrating north.

Both butterflies meet at the zinnias in my garden.
