pretty!
Beautiful. I made a print and posted it at work. Thanks!
I mean colias is a genus. all they from family of Pieridae. but check this links for sure:
1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoebis_sen... (Cloudless Sulphur)
2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulphur_but... (Sulphur butterfly)
3. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurema (grass yellow butterflies)
@Alicelongmartin, I believe: the name of this spotting this is already correct. this is a butterfly from the family of Eurema (grass yellow) and the species is Eurema hecabe.... There are three (frequently looks very similar) families of yellow butterflies: Eurema (grass yellow), Cloudless Sulphur (Phoebis Sennae) and Clouded yellows (Colias)...
That is a Sulphur butterfly.
