"Larger than the other common sulphurs, the male is clear lemon-yellow above, without the dark borders that characterize the smaller pierids. It has elongated forewings that give it a strangely triangular shape when perched ... both sexes have a single or double pink rimmed silver spot in the center of the hindwing beneath."

Picture taken with a Nikon D80, using a Nikon 200mm, f/4 micro, manual focus lens.
