Clouded sulphur on smartweed. The smartweed is a tall think plant with many small pink flowers. The butterfly is holding onto the left side of the flower, facing right. It is mostly yellow with a few black spots on each wing. There is a large black spot near the top of the hindwing with a white dot in the middle of it. The forewing has a large white spot in the middle, surrounded by pink. The outer edges of the wing are also pink.

A pale yellow butterfly resting on an aster that has dozens of purple petals and an orange center. The butterfly is at rest, so its wings are folded. The outer wing is a light yellow with pink around the outer edges and two white or silver spots surrounded by pink. The other wing looks white with a dark black border and a black spot near the upper edge.
