Jessie and I took a hike where to a meadow where there were dozens of butterflies flitting around.
This is a shot of a sulphur butterfly in flight. See how its legs dangle?
Here the butterfly is whipping out its proboscis. To me it looks like this is a pink edged sulphur, but the range of that butterfly is a thousand miles north. (Here’s a photo of a pink edged sulphur from a guide to butterflies).
If it’s not a pink edged sulphur, it’s definitely a sulphur with a pink edge. 
These butterflies are busy with the clover.
They consistently alight on a flower facing me with its wings closed, providing a head-on view where it’s hard to tell a proboscis from a leg.
From the side these guys are little miracle bugs.
I particularly like the bulgy green eyes.
Alice, I’d be lost without your blog to greet me in the morning. Great photos as usual….I like the bulging green eyes too!
Hi Alice (and MVPat, too). I enjoy your blog at 10:55pm too - but usually look in the morning - it’s always interesting.
Those butterfly pics are great - beautiful creatures. thanks for sharing.
These photos are real treasures. Butterfly’s are so delicate looking, almost transparent, Think of them migrating to Mexico during the winter. Just unbelievable.
