Here's an Orange Sulphur (Colias eurytheme) settling down for the night on some yellowed leaves of Fragrant Honeysuckle (Lonicera fragrantissima). Had I not watched it land there I probably would have walked right past it and not noticed.

On another note: yesterday's unseasonably warm weather was used to do a task I was not looking forward to -- taking down a damaged and diseased American Elm in my front yard. The upside is that I now have about a 50' x 50' space that will be full sun that I get to plant with lots of nectar and host plants! Can hardly wait for Spring!
