:o) Looks like a female Lyside Sulphur to me.

You must forgive me though - we get those by the thousands out here that I don't even give them a second look. We see them migrating northward intermingled with the gazillion of Snouts :o)

They use guayacan (Guaiacum angustifolium) as a larval host and that stuff is native and grows wild everywhere. Hence the abundance of lysides.

Keep a look out for Statira Sulphur (Phoebis statira) - there's been some talk of rare sightings out here but no photographs.

Here's a photo of a small puddling party.
