The last cloudless sulphur butterfly (Phoebis sennae eubule) I saw was on September 29.
It preferred the red salvia flowers.
They migrate north through the summer to breed and return to the south in the fall. This translates into their numbers varying yearly.

Interesting name. I wonder where ‘cloudless’ came from. Nice shots!

I’ve wondered that too and have no idea.
