This butterfly was photographed last October in Cairo, Egypt on Vitex agnus which gives a good indication of its size.

Thanks

Looks like a Clouded Sulphur (Colias philodice).

Thanks for the suggestion but Colias philodice is New World only, so not to be found in Egypt.

Thanks anyway.

Jacqueline

I think it's one of the Skipper Family, but not sure which.
