Orange Sulphur
Tom, I tend to agree with Alan Chin-Lee on this one. Only because I am looking at the outer edge of the forewing. But, I am no expert. What I am amazed with is the coloration of this one. I would love to draw this one someday. I would change the position of the antennae and maybe the position of the legs but I absolutely love the colors.

I'm pretty sure ...
Hey Tom, I'm pretty sure this is Phoebis agarithe and not P. philea. Definitely not P. philea though.
