The cloudless sulphur is such an incredible brilliant hue of yellow. The best move we made was adding a cassia tree to our butterfly garden, as this butterfly always catches my eye when fluttering into the garden. This beautiful female spent a great deal of time in the garden this morning laying as many eggs as she could.
Although hard to tell, the female has a black border on her wings. She also has a dark spot on the center of the forewing. The male, on the other hand, is solid yellow.
These butterflies are attracted to red flowers. Unfortunately, with being so strongly attracted to red, they have also been known to fly into the red of car taillights.
The cloudless sulphur, although can be found throughout most of the United States, will travel to the southern United States, including Florida, during the fall, where they winter. When temperatures warm, they will travel north to the same breeding sites they visited the year before.
