Thanks for correction on ID--see comments. Originally I thought this was a Little Yellow.

Eurema (or Pyrisitia) nise
Well Ron, you can find this one a little closer than E. (P.) lisa, since it is actually E. (P.) nise.

A good clue, the two little black dots at the base of the wing are missing. The wings are a bit broader in this species too.

Moved from Little Yellow.

yuck
I've got a sort'a bad knee; hope I never have to go through the same.

A fine specimen
And photo to match. Wish we had them in Southern California.
