Rayetta's Butterflies - The Orange-Barred Sulphur (Phoebis philea)

Right now, at the CB we have all three of the Phoebis Sulphurs that occur in these parts, Norte Americanerriffic. I have already covered the other two in this venue. All of the Phoebis butterflies are big and nervous. Phoebis philea is the biggest of the three, but perhaps, not the most nervous. This is a big female. Ogma Sunface is behind her so the picture inidcates the nice orange showing through from the topsides of the wings. This reminds me of my first view, many years ago, of a yellow warbler, also lit up by the fickle Ogma.
