The orange barred sulphur has been visiting the garden daily this week, leaving tons of eggs behind on our Bahama Cassia tree. I absolutely adore this butterfly because it is such a ray of sunshine while flying.

I have read that the orange barred sulphur is the largest southeastern sulphur. The females are also larger than the male. Now that we are in the summer months, the female is orange yellow with dark molting coloring.

These butterflies are incredibly fast in flight and can be very hard to photograph. So I was excited when I got some good ones of her laying eggs.
