Westwood’s Yellow

I’ve been seeing a lot of yellow butterflies recently and this Westwood’s Yellow, Eurema westwoodii (my gallery link) seems to be one of the “regulars” this year for the first time. See more in my gallery link above.

A New YELLOW for me

I’m getting my best help with identification through iNaturalist or through multiple channels with them. And I finally determined that this new Yellow for me is Westwood’s Yellow, Eurema westwoodii, linked to iNaturalist, but not much info there or anywhere else online about this species and it is not even included in BAMONA.
