Sulphur Butterflies

Sulphur Butterflies

Today I saw some beautiful Sulphur butterflies!  I love to see these butterflies fly around in my backyard. 

There were two kinds of Sulfur butterflies that I saw this morning:

1. Cloudless Sulphur butterfly

The Large Orange is one of my favorite Sulphur butterflies.  Their bright yellow color attracts my attention.

I love to watch the different kinds of yellow Sulphur butterflies flying around in my backyard and feeding on my zenas.

My zena's are finally blooming, so they stuck around a while longer.
