Tag: White Angled Sulphur

This other common white for my garden is not as difficult to identify because of the strongly showing veins on underside of wings and the yellow accent spots with black or brown spot inside on the upper wings. The only possible confusion is that there is a Yellow Angled-Sulphur with the underside of wings almost identical, though supposedly more yellowish while the White is usually more white and/or greenish, plus the Yellow Angled-Sulphur does not have the topside yellow accent spots. Also there is one light brown spot on the underside of the wings of both which is rounded on the White and elongated on the Yellow. Little details make the difference in identification! 🙂 Just one image here from my garden and you can see more in my White Angled-Sulphur, Anteos clorinde GALLERY (linked).

I’m back to sharing photos from my garden and this particular butterfly has been quite numerous the last few days. And more interesting than some of the many other Whites that I’m getting now. Here’s two shots from this week and you can see more in my White Angled-Sulphur Gallery. The scientific name is Anteos clorinde and they are residents from Argentina up to Mexico, putting Costa rica near the center. Here’s two shots . . .
