Pink-edged Sulphur - Colias interior -

near Elliot Lake, Algoma District, Ontario, Canada
July 15, 2005

Found on a capped uranium tailing dumping area covered in exotic weeds, but blueberries grew nearby on open rock outcrops. Colias species are hard to identify, but I don't think this could be anything but C. interior.
