Hello again Bugman,
I like this subject better than the roach picture I just sent. What kind of pretty butterfly is this? We live in NC.

Hi Nancy,
This is one of the Sulphur Butterflies in the genus Colias. It appears as though yellow spots in the black wing border are visible through the wings, indicating she is female, and the slight orange color indicated most probably the Alfalfa Butterfly, Colias eurytheme.
