I've tried to take a picture of him with the wings open but he didnt coaporated..

in real life he's white.. in this photo he's a bit yellowish because of the light i guess.. the other photos are better.. so what do you think? still a Common Grass yellow? or does it make it a different kind of a common grass maybe?
