Sulphur Butterfly

From USFWS National Wildlife Refuge System:




Hide in plain sight! The cloudless sulphur butterfly almost looks part of the cactus bloom at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, NM. The sulphur butterfly is a member of the Pieridae family, and can be bright yellow or orange with a wingspan of 2-3 inches. You can see them from southern Canada to Mexico, but not in the central or southeastern part of the U.S.
