Butterfly sighting

Didn't see my first butterfly of the day until after lunch 1:15 Pm when for about a twenty minute period the sun peeked through the clouds,
"Clouded Sulphur" It was still cold enough that the Sulphur did not move from the flower even after touching it several times. It only moved over on the flower. At 3 Pm once again the sun came out, our warmest moment of the day at 58 degrees. First I saw an Orange Sulphur on Stiff Gentian, fifteen minutes later a Clouded Sulphur on Frost Aster. No more butterflies were seen for the rest of the day!
