user posted imageBurdock (Cynthia cardui)or thistle. Size-5-6 cm. A migratory butterfly. You can meet thistles almost all over the world - there are no these butterflies only in South America and Antarctica. The length of their flight can reach 5000 km. Before the Second World War, thistles were so widespread in the United States that their caterpillars destroyed almost all the weeds in the fields. Farmers were simply delighted and turned to the Department of Agriculture with a request: is it possible in any way to cause the reproduction of burdocks every year?
