Cool! So, the chrysalis occupant is also a Large Grass Yellow? Cheeky devli!
She must put out some pheromones even in that state! If it is a she. Wow. Super catch. I’ve never heard of butterflies doing this before so that’s cool. Great detail in the wings and body. Wish the chrysalis was lined up better with him, but he probably didn’t care. I like the overall shapes and composition, too.
Mike, I think this is the newly hatched butterfly. A close look at the crysalis shows that it’s split near the right hand side. The details in the fresh butterfly are outstanding!

Fantastic capture, Mike.
Well spotted, @Mark_Seaver . I should look more closely next time! I have changed the description. Apologies to @Kris_Smith @linda_mellor @Bonnie_Lampley for incorrect information, as I previously thought the chrysalis was unhatched!

Good catch, Mike. It sure does look brand new! Good details and nice color. Looks a lot like our Clouded Sulphur.
Beautiful capture, Mike! I love the details in the eye and antennas. Nice composition with her hanging from her previous home!
