You never know what you will find when pruning a Senecio confusus (Mexican Flame Vine) high up on a ladder. This appears to be a Yellow Angled-Sulphur (Anteos maerula) male so it wouldn't be ovipositing for that reason and also because the host plants are Sennas. He stayed long enough for me to retrieve the camera from inside. He flew about a bit which gave me the opportunity to see the upper wings which are yellow. The females are off-white above. He is very much the same as the photos i used for an ID, but if anyone has other ideas regarding the identity i would be happy to hear them. This is a very large sulphur. :-)
