Cloudless Giant Sulphur

Phoebis sennae My garden. Houston, Texas. May 2008.

 

from "Verses On a Butterfly" by Joseph Warton -

"...For thee, gay queen of insects! do we rove

From walk to walk, from beauteous grove to grove;

And let the critics know, whose pedant pride

And awkward jests our sprightly sport deride:

That all who honours, fame, or wealth pursue,

Change but the name of things--they hunt for you."
