Why

Why? Is there orange showing on this Butterfly?

Orange Sulphur

What a great shot of the female with her wings spread out. I have never been able to see one in this position. I have gotten a photo as she was flying away from some flowers and could get a glimpse of the orange spot on hind wing. This is indeed a rare shot of the Sleepy Orange. Be proud of this! I would frame it. Very nice!!

Thanks, Patrick!

Thanks for the compliment, Patrick! What doesn't show in this picture was that these two Butterflies were flitting about in one place, so I was above them and kept shooting. This is the only one that turned out like this. So, it was mostly perserverence rather than skill!

Yes

There is definitely orange showing on the forewings.
