The American Lady looks very much like the Painted Lady and a good way to tell them apart is by looking at their eyespots on their hindwings. The American Lady has 2 large ones and the Painted lady has 4 small ones.

Eyespots on all butterflies is a way to confuse predators. They think that the eyespots are their head so their predators will attack the wings instead, and the butterfly survives.
