Not so sure about asafla's determination. I have raised both and here in this neck of the woods they are both yellow. However, the cloudless sulphur looks more like a yellow monarch larva - two tones of yellow with black bands and black antennae. The Orange-barred Sulphur larvae is yellow with black bands and a few black spots front and rear. Attached is an Orange-barred Sulphur larvae which was taken indoors to complete its cycle. From it I took pictures of both dorsal and ventral sides. I have a set of both males and females.

Trois, the Cassia and Senna are basically the same plant, with different species for different zones. I refer to the latter as that is the one the nurseries seem to have settled on.
