Cloudless Sulphur Butterfly Caterpillar And Chrysalis



Okay, I’m a knucklehead.  I’ve been saying Clouded Sulphur when I should have been saying Cloudless Sulphur.  No wonder I couldn’t find anything when I searched Google.  I’ll fix all my posts.  Sorry if I mislead anyone.

A few days ago I wrote a post about this yellow Caterpillar that I had seen on our Cassia tree.  I speculated that the Caterpillar was a Cloudless Sulphur Butterfly Caterpillar.  I’m still sticking with that speculation.

What was somewhat surprising to me is that there are not many pictures on the web of a Cloudless Sulphur Caterpillar (go ahead and try and search Google).  I did see some images labeled “Sulphur” Caterpillar, but really couldn’t find any that stated with certainty that the image displayed was indeed a Cloudless Sulphur Caterpillar so perhaps this is somewhat of a rarity.

Anyway, after two days, the Caterpillar finally turned into a Chrysalis.

This is the first Caterpillar and Chrysalis we’ve even seen in our backyard of the Cloudless Sulphur Butterfly.
