Cloudless Sulphur Butterfly (Phoebis sennae)

The past several years I've been able to capture pictures of the Cloudless Sulphur Butterfly on the Zinnia's to Morning Glories. I always remember seeing them here and they are easy to spot around my neighborhood. They can be found in South America, The West Indies and are widespread across the Southern United States. They sometimes stray northward to Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, New Jersey and even as far as Canada. The males have only faint markings on their wings and females have dark edging along the upper side of their forewing. The females also can be yellow or white with a dark spot on the upper forewing. God's lovely creation the butterfly. I'm gaining a small understanding of what God has placed in my midst. Take time and discover God's creation around you.
