A simple pleasure for #ButterflyWeek -- Clouded Sulphur (Colias philodice) on thistle in our meadow this morning #Butterflies #Lepidoptera #Naturephotography

Close-up of yellow butterfly, side view, sipping nectar from a purplish-pink thistle. Small and subtle markings on his wings reflect the colours of the thistle. Likewise, a faint pink border on the edges of his wings reflects the pink thistle blossom. We see the greens of additional thistle plants in the background.
