Field Notes

Description:

A small butterfly with yellow wings that have a sandy, paper-like appearance with many small, brown spots.

Habitat:

A lush yard near Lake Killarney in central Florida. The trees are tall, bushes thick and plants well-watered. It's a very friendly place for flora and fauna. This spider was in a far corner of the yard, atop some bushes in the shade of a tree.

Definitily not Phoebis, too small for that and different form and colors. Still: Eurema sp.

If the wings are closed you usually can't see the dark edges.

looks similar, but neither butterfly had any dark markings on the edges/corners of the upper sides of the wings.

Compare with yours: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/8112200 I think this one is also Eurema sp., but you have to verify yourself. Just a guess.
