Woohoo, I caught a photo of one of my little yellow beauties. Could it be an Orange-Barred Sulphur? I've studied Sherry's Clouldless Sulphur photo and looked on line where I also saw the Orange-Barred. My little butterfly looks like it's veins protrude a bit more than Sherry's little beauty and has a bit darker color inside the edges of the wings. What do you think? How in the world do you tell the difference! :-)
There are several flitting around, nectaring on the Pentas and Lantana mainly. I don't have a host plant for them but would like to pick up some seed and try growing their host plant next year as an annual, to see if I can get some eggs.
Cloudless Sulphur (Phoebis sennae) or Orange-Barred Sulphur (Phoebis philea)?
