how could you get it still?? These butteflies are so active! I saw them in my recent trip to Philippines but it was so difficult to make a picture..Finally I made one of some that were drinking water in a poodle. Nice shots! :-)

Not sure if Philippines is included in the distribution of clouded sulfur (pls check this site - http://pbh-butterflies.yolasite.com/phil...). The size you mentioned seems to fit an emigrant.
