Yellow Butterfly - Phoebis sennae - Female
Brooklet, Bulloch County, Georgia, USA

Size: 1 inch
I call this one "Skizo". He and his buddies are around every day. They continually fly around, rarely lighting on any flowers. When they are flying, they look like they are bouncing off walls; hence the nickname, "Skizo. They sometimes fly into trees and alight next to yellow leaves. It's very difficult to tell them from the leaves on the trees. I finally caught this one on a daisy.
