Description:

Found this beautiful chrysalis on the side of the glass door, (July 18), I kept checking and 9 days later (July 27) this gorgeous medium size butterfly came out of it.

Notes:

Or is ir....Phoebis p. philea, Orange-barred Sulphur http://butterfliesofamerica.com/phoebis_... I also found this around my home: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/478... Leads me to believe it is a Phoebis p. philea....?!

Any help would be appreciated. I just found out the scientific name for this Chrysalis/Butterfly could be:
Phoebis p. philea, Orange-barred Sulphur.
