It is still winter, but on this sunny day when it was nearly 70 degrees (21 C), a single Cloudless Sulphur butterfly visited a patch of fading daffodils.

Cloudless Sulphur on Yellow Cactus Flower
These yellow cactus flowers in full bloom had a few Cloudless Sulphur Butterflies flitting around them.
And they do flit, with speed.
The overgrown vegetation around the cactus kept me from getting a better angle. The possibility of snakes was top of my mind.
The flowers on their own were outstanding.
Cloudless Sulphur Butterfly
Cloudless Sulphur Butterfly was one of at least five butterfly species I saw on November 13 at Donnelley Wildlife Management Area.
There were actually dozens of them along the road, zipping in and out of the Morning Glories.
Zoom in on this last image and you’ll see some sort of a multi-segmented insect between the two Morning Glory blooms that I did not see at the time.

Wintertime Cloudless Sulphur
We had a glorious, if not quite right for the middle of winter, weather day today. It was sunny and temps were in the low 70s (21C). I spotted several Cloudless Sulphur butterflies zipping around the swamp this afternoon.
Brightly colored Camellias, which bloom all winter here, were popular feeding spots.
This nearly gone by Jonquil didn’t look like much but the butterfly spent some time working it over.
This dandelion bloom hardly made it through the fallen leaves, making a perfect low spot for the butterfly.
