Genus Inachis is a classification used for the Painted Lady butterfly. Synonyms for this genus include Cynthia, Vanessa, and Junonia. The name "Cynthia" comes from Greek mythology, where the moon goddess Artemis was also known as Cynthia. "Vanessa" is said to have been coined by a British entomologist after the name of a 1700s stage actress named Vanessa. And "Junonia" was named after Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage and queen of the gods. Regardless of the name, the Painted Lady butterfly remains a popular species among butterfly enthusiasts due to its stunning appearance and migratory patterns.
