A yellow butterfly with wings edged in pink is nectaring on a white flower. This is a Pink-edged Sulpur. The Pink-edged Sulphur (Colias interior) is a medium-sized yellow butterfly that flies in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York in June and July. It is a member of the Pieridae family. The Pink-edged Sulphur is one of three members of the Colias genus found in the Adirondack Park. The others are the Clouded Sulphur and the Orange Sulphur. Butterflies in this genus are usually some shade of yellow, orange, or white. Seen from above, they have black borders, solid in males and with pale spots in females. All of our sulphurs usually perch with closed wings, which complicates identification.
