Sleepy Orange

Some excitement this morning! Spotted and photographed a Sulfur butterfly that I'd not identified before. I most likely just called it a Sulfur or Clouded Sulfur. This one has the wonderful name of 'Sleepy Orange', Abbeis nicippe, and can be identified by a small black dash (or 'sleepy eye' mark) near the middle in the upper forewing. In the overall scheme of things, this is probably not any kind of a big deal. But it makes me happy and sometimes that's just enough !
