Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Butterfly's top side of wings were white and black which makes me think this was a female Orange Sulphur although I didn't get a picture of that. Butterfly was feeding at Sedum flowers next to path in business park. Sunny day in the 70's F with breezes.

Coordinator notes: Since this is unlikely to be Colias philodice in that county, it seems safe to call it an Orange Sulphur female-Ken Davenport
