Submitted by: john van hise
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Sulfur yellow on top (with wings open) fading to a beautiful peach towards the tail. Stayed right in front of me not 3 feet away placing eggs on my little Cassia tree. Eleven little yellow caterpillars today, so she must have been visiting Cassia for some days. Another of the same species was flying around her but not alighting.
