Barred Yellow that’s not very yellow

This Barred Yellow, Eurema daira (my gallery link) was in bright sunlight and thus the nicer colors that you can find in my gallery weren’t seen on that morning. 🙂

Barred Yellow

This is just my third time to see this unusual Yellow (among the many Yellows!). The Barred Yellow, Eurema daira (linked to my gallery) is found from Argentina north to the deep south of the U.S. It’s uniqueness is the brown, orange & yellow bars on the top of wings. The side view is similar to many Whites & Yellows. I’ve seen it twice here in Atenas and once at Arenal Observatory (where I’m headed tomorrow). See photos from other countries including the U.S. at butterfliesandmoths.
