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.
...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.

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)
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.

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.
