Cloudless Sulphur - Yes, Another Butterfly Blog

Warren brought down our annual hibiscus plants when he came from home last week.  The elusive sulphurs LOVE hibiscus evidently as you could just about touch them and they lingered so long getting pollen, I thought they were dead!  So this enabled finally a closeup.  This is called a Cloudless Sulphur and is one of the most common butterflies down here.


They were still too fast for me to get them wing open as they don't sit with their wings open like many butterflies.  This was the best I managed.



Just two more shots!

  1. I love that you are taking a lot of wildlife images almost every day! You might want to check out Project Noah. It is a place where you can share your sightings on the web and they are "geo-tagged" to make a living map of species throughout the world.

    Keep it up!!
