Clouded Sulphur
Colias philodice

Observation date: October 22, 2013
Submitted by: Cherylee Black
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I saw this pair of butterflies fly together periodically, then land in the grass together.
Status: Resident
Verified by: rosslayberry
Verified date: October 26, 2013
Coordinator notes: The submitter saw the butterflies very clearly before taking this, the only picture that she was able to get. There are no other Sulphur species in the area at that date, so there is no doubt that they were Clouded Sulphurs. Ross Layberry
