Great shot!
Always nice to get the top side of critters that do not pose with their wings open for cameras!

Thanks, but is was pure luck!
I wished i had planned to get an open wing shot. It seems it is so vibrant! But i was happy enough to get one feeding on a flower. The Sulphurs seem to be the hardest to photograph. Luckily, it flew and gave me a decent pic.
