Common Sulphur Butterfly

Can you see it?
Common sulphur butterflies were in abundance in the bay side woods at Quickpoint, south Longboat Key. They were less than one inch long. Some were yellow, top and bottom. Others, like this one, were yellow on top when flying. When landing on weeds, their wings were folded up so only the underside was visible. Barely visible is a better way to put it. They blended perfectly into the background.
