clouded sulphur butterfly - Colias philodice
Hopkins, Allegan County, Michigan, USA
August 24, 2010
found a bunch of these butterflies on this large red flower in our yard. It was just before dusk and they seemed rather dormant and easy to approach without scaring them. There seems to have been a huge increase in our area, which is very rural farmland. I seem to see these butterflies everywhere.
