Cloudless Sulphur, a unique beauty.

Hi, Today while baling hay I had a Cloudless Sulphur pass by and momentarily land on a Canna flower like the ones in the photos below. Typically Cloudless Sulphurs do not stay around for long, only later on in the afternoon/evening. Perhaps they need to refuel at that time. Today's beauty was in a rush and made a few passes at the Canna flowers but did not stop. It sure did make my day seeing one here, more inland. Usually I find them after Labor Day and more along the coast, especially the ocean as opposed to the Delaware Bay and rivers. Below are two pics of Cloudless Sulphurs nectaring on Canna Flowers. I do not use the larger flowered 'Presidential' type cannas but the smaller flowered varieties for hummingbird and butterflies. Have a great day, Denis
