Verified date: August 10, 2025
Coordinator notes: Your ID is correct...a male (top) with very wide black wing borders (often a character of the summer flight)...the second photo is a male also and could be an earlier flying Orange Sulphur since it is very worn. Scudder's Sulphur would have a distinctly greener underside color to the vhw (abbreviation for "ventral hindwing(s)). Mike
