Orange-barred Sulphur . . .

. . . I’m pretty sure, though on my only photo of the top of wings the usual orange bars or patches are not obvious which I blame on a weak or out-of-focus photo with sun-glare! 🙂 The only other one I know of with those dual spots on both wings like these is the Cloudless Sulphur and I’ve never seen one this orange – so I’m sticking with Orange-barred Sulphur, Phoebis philea. See my Orange-barred Gallery. And below are 4 shots of today’s sighting . . .
