Colias eurytheme

Expected to occur throughout both Alabama and Mississippi.  Very similar to Clouded Sulphur; these two species hybridize making identification even more difficult.  Dorsal surface of males orange with solid dark bands along the wing margins.  Females can be white or yellow and have a dark band with light areas along the wing margins.
