Clouded Sulphur
Colias philodice

Observation date: October 28, 2018
Submitted by: A_baldini
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Time: ~2:45 p.m. Temperature: 67 degrees. Wind: 7 mph. Sky: Sunny. Habitat: Rendezvous Trail, a combination of semi-riparian and “weedy field” habitats. Notes: I observed two or three Clouded Sulphurs along the Rendezvous Trail. There were large colonies of still-green legumes (I believe milkvetches) growing all along the trail, probably explaining the late-flying sulphurs in the area.
