Field Notes

Description:

Sulphur butterfly in an Alamanda Flower. They come for a drink before they lay their eggs on my Candlebush plant.

Habitat:

Gardens, yards, and roadside, wherever you find flowers

Notes:

This one contrasts a bit more with the flower, but sometimes after you have taken your picture, you are not sure you got them together.
