I have searched to identify this butterfly, but can't find it. I think it might be in the sulfur/cabbage butterfly family. That's probably a bee trying to dive into the photo.
I think you're right- it looks like a sulphur to me as well but without seeing the whole wing I can't be sure. The Cabbage Butterfly is in there for a very tight second option. It's either one. Nicely captured.
@brillomick I might learn how to save some seed and send you some. If I figure it out, I'll let you know. @thewatersphotos Thanks. The antennae really did show up! @wakelys Thanks Susan. @taffy Thank you Taffy. Couldn't get as good an angle as I would have liked. @bkbinthecity Thanks Brian. @craftymeg Thanks Margaret. @grammyn Thank you so much Katy. The morning light is kind on my garden. @serendypyty Thank you Cazzi. @pyrrhula Thank you Ferry. @summerfield Thank you for identifying this butterfly Vikki. A gray hairstreak! It was hard to get a good angle on the butterfly without scaring it off. @olivetreeann I think it is what Vikki ( @summerfield) said, a Gray Hairstreak, which is a Gossomer butterfly. Thanks Ann. @kjarn Thank you Kathy. The morning light on the back yard where the garden is gives some lovely views. @tunia I wish I knew a lot more about everyday things.
