Mike, it might be a Paper Kite Butterfly.  They are either white or light yellow, and a lot of butterfly houses have them.

This one has a section missing from its wing.  I usually don't notice this until after I've gotten home with the images.  The colors and light are beautiful.

Mike, you've got great sharpness in the bf and it's perch.  (Isn't flash wonderful...someday I may learn how to use one...sad ) I'm enjoying the mix of subtle colors in the bf and how well they blend with the colors of the flowers.

Mike, This is a Paper Kite or Rice Paper butterfly. I like their flights. You got great details in the butterfly. The patterns in the wings are beautiful.
