A curious Orange Sulphur Butterfly

This sulphur was easy to identify, and is common as rain; it lives throughout the entire US.

It’s an orange sulphur, drinking from purple clover.

This is the top view.  It made me realize that I’m finding different species, but most of my butterfly photos are the same shot: the only time I catch them is that moment when their proboscis is deep inside a floret.  It’s as though all I do is spy on them eating dinner.

If they’re not drinking, they’re outta there.

And then I saw this moment of interspecies communication: I’m looking at him, and he’s looking at me.   What a world we live in.
