Mead=s Sulphur (LEP38) Colias meadii This
species obtained its name from a lepidopterist who discovered it in
Colorado. This brilliant sulphur
flies in high mountain tundra. The
wings are colored deep orange with jet black borders. The eyes are green, and the furry scales
around the head are bright pink, as is the fringe of the wings. The showy daisy is a favorite nectar
