Cloudless Sulphur -First of Year male- (Phoebis sennae) U.S. National Arboretum, Washington DC
Our annual southern migrant. A large iconic butterfly that arrives in the Mid-Atlantic at the end of summer.
Likes to nectar on red or orange tubular flowers. Here pictured inside a Nasturtium bloom native to Mexico and Peru. Nasturtiums are edible and a delectable addition to salads. The blooms add a wonderful pop of color and the leaves infuse your tastebuds with a peppery taste.
See my next shot that completes the look at this butterfly.
