This rare species for Michigan was found at Munson Park in Monroe, Michigan (USA).

 

It's listed as a "seldom encountered" species on the LepAlert site.

fresh, richly marked female Cloudless Sulphur

Windmill Hill Gardens, SC, Sept 2

...except for an impressive steam plume from Ferrybridge power station, lit from above by a near full moon and from below by the streetlamp glow. A steam cloud this size, rising to perhaps 3,000 feet, is created by the combination of still air and sub-zero temperatures. Looking across Newton Ings, near Castleford.

Photographed at the Lexington Wildlife Management Area, Oklahoma, on 1 September 2021.

Another young one in our protective cage. This is a cloudless sulphur larva munching on some twigs from one of our cassia trees.

 

Update on the Gulf Fritillary: (s)he emerged strong and was getting antsy to get out of the cage. I wasn't able to get a good photo. She's beautiful and hopefully is one of the ones we see in the garden.

Fantastic spring weather at the Gazelle 50th Commemorative Fly-in, Middle Wallop.

Feeding on a Fire Bush that is surrounded by a ripening beautyberry. The beautyberry has enjoyed the summer and is standing quite tall.

It's often hard to believe that skies without a single cloud exist, especially if you've lived in Ireland for a long time. Palermo greeted me with a crystal clear blue sky at my arrival today :-)

I now believe this to be

Cloudless Sulphur (Phoebis sennae)

Look all around, there's nothing but blue sky.

After months of cloudy skys, I finally got to try out some astrophotography.

This butterfly landed to presumably lick up some water and minerals on my driveway when I watered my plants. I'm not an expert and there are many types of sulphurs but I believe this might be a Cloudless Sulphur (Phoebis sennae). Like the Monarchs, they migrate south for the winter but not quite as far. I also saw a Monarch last weekend, but none this weekend.

Phoebis sennae

Bentsen Rio Grande State Park

Mission, Texas

2nd Batch. This roll appears to be different from the previous two, for the colours are even more undersaturated and there's more grain. I guess it may be due to this roll being kept in different conditions.

 

Here's a younger one that has been feasting on flowers most its life. I'm not sure what the (very) tiny drops are on the tips of the spines. As far as I know they don't sting with them. Perhaps it's just dew? Anyway, this one was small, maybe 3/4" long. When it gets bigger and sheds a few times it will gain the stripes. You can barely see where they will form just behind the spiracles.
