Clouded Sulphur Butterfly


This Sulphur is yellow with black margins on both wings. Its size usually varies from 2 to 2 3/4" .
Sometimes the female of this species will be white, and are very similar to the Alfalfa Butterfly.
Clouded Sulphurs love open fields, roadsides and are found almost all over North America. This one was in my garden enjoying the lantana.
Larvae of these butterflies love to feed on covers, sweet clover and alfalfa.

"As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out MY sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day."
Ezekiel 34:12 KJV
