Nicely done. I can see the pink outline of the wings.

Sulphars are very difficult to tell apart and I've never been able to id them myself.

I have another pic of this one that I like a little better but really dont care forthe boat trailer taking up the background. Still trying to figure out how to crop before I go ask.

Very nice pic!!
Like CaptMicha stated .. it's definitely one of the Sulphurs!
Also .. about 'the pink outline of the wings' - - it may could be the Pink-edged Sulphur!
However, I haint puttin' no money on it (hee) .. for there are a number of the Sulphurs that have the 'pink edges'! hee .. Oh well .. I'll keep lookin' in my book.
But .. I jes swear to goodness tho' .. the flutterbye in your pic .. seems to look just 'zactly' like this one that I've scanned from my book .. and posted here for you.
Just as was stated before .. they are very difficult to tell them apart and ID them!

And .. yep .. most of these fellers .. are most uncooperative! .. hee hee ..

Good luck!!
