Description
I was attempting to photograph my Yellow Cosmo flowers which just opened yesterday. At the moment of focusing, this butterfly decided to get in on the action! Of course I was thrilled! This is a Colias Philodice (scientific name) and a Clouded Sulphur ( by common name). It is of the Pieridae butterfly family. Please ZOOM in and look at the long flexible tube protruding from the mouth into the Cosmo flower. This is how this butterfly sucks nectar! This would be a lovely print to keep summer in your soul all year long!!!
