Which Sulphur? - Colias eurytheme
Southlake/Bob Jones Nature Center, Tarrant County, Texas, USA
May 20, 2009
I am having difficulty deciding whether this is a Clouded Sulphur or an Orange Sulphur female. There were lots of Orange Sulphurs in the area, but this butterfly seemed to be only about 2/3 the size of the Orange Sulphurs. Could it possibly be the white or albino form of the Orange Sulphur?

Orange Sulphur
This is probably a female Colias eurytheme.
The Clouded Sulphur probably doesn't occur
in the North Texas area.
