Which Colias? - Colias eurytheme - Female
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
August 15, 2008
Size: approx 40 - 50mm wingspan
I'm leaning toward Orange Sulphur - Colias eurytheme - on this one, mainly due to the width of the hindwing black border and the generally orange impression I got of the upperside. I could not get a good shot of the upperside as it took off and did not settle again after I took this shot (probably anxious for me and my 3-year-old daughter to stop chasing it), but I'll post the poor shot I have to aid in ID.
