Nice photograph..It looks so similar to the Common Grass Yellow (Eurema Hecabe) that we find in India...
BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you Carol, here you can see yesterday`s spotting http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/788...
Oh that is great news Ismael. I saw 3 similar orange/yellow sulphurs here. Unbelievable. It is nearly December here in the hills of PA. But very mild temps bring these hardy and beautiful butterflies out in the sun. Your photo is extra great because of its position on the leaf. Not luck... good spotting skills. HA!
I was very lucky, yesterday i found the chrysalis and today I saw the butterfly emerging
