The cloudless sulphur butterfly returned to the garden this afternoon, leaving behind quite a few eggs (white on the side of the leaf) on our cassia tree.

Most of the time she is incredibly hard to photograph, as she does not stay long while laying eggs.

Although the adult sulphur’s are typically a vibrant shade of yellow, the female can be pale yellow or white during the summer months. During the winter months males sometimes have darker markings ventrally.
