Sorry for the poor picture and lack of a photo of the insides of the wings. It just wouldn't cooperate.

Don't Apologise
Don't apologise - these won't open up for anybody, usually. It's an Orange Sulphur. I have yet to get a decent shot of these with their wings open, if I do, it's only because it was a female and a male was close nearby, and in a "mating fervor."
