Right before the storm blew in today, this little Sulphur came by to nectar the Coreopsis... Would have liked to catch it with wings open, it was a very buttery yellow.

Deb - Oh WOW! What an adorable little fella! I really like his coloring and patterns. I've not seen any like him here in Florida. Nice photo, Deb. Great contrast photo!!! Love the dark background in the first photo with that yellow bloom and the butterfly lit on it! NICE! :-)

Thanks Karen :-) and Becky:-)! Don't think I have the host for this one now, but I sure hope to see more of them. Maybe get one with the wings open some day.

:-D
One more facing the other way..
