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.
