Clouded Sulphur
Colias philodice

Observation date: June 03, 2024
Submitted by: Cascade Colors
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: In previous outings it seems I usually see the Orange Sulphur and it's much more common, but there were many of these around on this day and none of them were the vivid golden orange color of the male. So either they were all female or I thought instead maybe these were the Clouded.
Status: Resident
