I'm wondering if this is actually a Pink-edged. If so, it'd be my only shot of that species, so please say yes. ;-)

Great!
Thanks so much!:-)
My father started collecting butterflies as a teen, back in the 1940s. When I was a kid (in the 1960s), whenever we went to northern Ontario he was always hoping to find a Pink-edged Sulphur. So it's exciting to know I do have a shot now, all these years later. :-)
Too bad it took me 11 years to realize that, but hey--thanks again.

Pink-edged Sulphur
They're often common when you find a good location. Blueberries are the food plant so usually found where there are lots of blueberry bushes. They are much less common in the Ottawa area than they were 30 years ago.
