Kricogonia lyside

Observation date: April 27, 2024

Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Saw a pale yellow sulphur flitting along through the river bottom and quickly suspected Lyside. I was able to get a few photos of it perched that confirmed that ID. Apparently the first one in Kansas since I saw one 9 years ago?
