[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Habitat Beaches, salt marshes, coastal plains, offshore islands, and sandy flats.

Range Neotropics: S. Texas, Gulf Coast, and Florida, emigrating up Mississippi Valley to Kansas and up Atlantic to Virginia.

Discussion Because the striking dimorphism of the female depends upon length of day, a higher proportion of the summer population is of darker color. Generally common, the Great Southern White builds up to enormous numbers prior to northerly emigrations, which occur irregularly and are probably due to a local scarcity of food. The mass movements are very impressive - for days, the large butterflies pass in small clusters, flying in a rapid and very directed manner 15-20' (5-6 m) in the air.

Hi Cecilia,
Excellent shot on this Sulphur on a Thistle. The color saturation is beautiful, and this has nice sharp detail. Good control on the DOF has rendered a very nice OOF backround. Composition and crop are perfect. Very well done.

This is a subtle and beautiful composition with the light on the flower and not the butterfly. TFS!

Deliziosa composizione, Cecilia!
Dettagli finissimi e bei colori morbidi, mi piace molto!

Ciao e grazie.

I like the picture very much 'cause both butterfly and flower are on focus.
Further on...I prefer framing more in a neutral way.

Hi Cecilia, nice close up of both the butterfly and the thistle. Excellent lighting, colours, details and exposure. Very well done and TFS.
All the best, Dean.

Hi Cecilia!
I like this shot very much, but every time I take a glance at it I see the thistle with a butterfly on it rather than the Sulphur sitting on a flower. I just wish the butterfly was sitting on the other side to be lit by sunshine. Excellent sharpness and exposure. Congratulations,
Mark

Hi Cecilia.
Quality of your shot is irreproachable. Crispness, clearness of the lines and colours impress very much. Sharpness of butterfly and flower is amazing. Blurriness of BG is superb. Excellent done. TFS.
