Little Yellow Sulphur (Pyrisitia lisa) laying egg on Bundleflower R1408 Sand Ridge SP, IL PFN

Little Yellow Sulphur (Pyrisitia lisa) laying an egg on Illinois Bundleflower (Desmanthus illinoensis).

Sand Ridge State Park, Mason County, Illinois, USA.

June 21, 2015.

 

UPDATE: Illinois Bundleflower (Desmanthus illinoensis) is the plant. It belongs to the Mimosa family. :-)

(I don't know what the foodplant is called--maybe you can help me? The leaves looked exactly like the Sensitive Plant (Mimosa sp.), but the leaves didn't respond to my touch.)
