Dainty Sulphur

Why is it called "Dainty"? Because it is dainty, with a wingspan of about one inch (2-3cm). It's the smallest sulphur native to North America. It's underside wings (as shown) are greenish in the winter, but will become yellowish in the summer.

 

The Dainty Sulphur has also been called "Dwarf Yellow".

 

Seen at Celery Fields, Florida.
