Congrats
on a new bug...
This one seems to be taking nectar at a Dandelion?

Imagine keeping a list of what butterflies visit which plants.... even more discoveries to be made!

dandy juice...
after reading what these prefer, I was surprised it graced this little dandelion. the tip of the wing caught my eye from across the yard, I knew it was not a small cabbage white.
I get a little over excited at seeing new bugs/butterflies :)
