Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Flying around in a grassy area that has yellow Dandelions and was beside some railroad tracks and a road and in a business and beside a residential area, a faint dark dot was present in a photo of this white butterfly on a top wing. I wanted to identify this butterfly a Cabbage White, a Western White, and also considered Checkered White, but the female of the Clouded Sulphur butterfly was a very close match also, so I chose it.
