Large Orange Sulphur
A male. These large Sulphurs can be frustrating, especially the males, since the markings are sometimes totally missing. Usually P. sennae is not this orange (actually it usually looks a bit greenish below). Also, on this one you can see (just barely) the nearly straight dark stripe under the front wing.
