Journal Entry

The species is the common sulphur or Colias Philodice under kingdom animalia, phylum arthropoda, class insecta, order lepidoptera, family Pieridae, subfamily Coliadinae. It is located beside Colias grumi and Colias flaveo1.

There are no common phenotypic adaptations between the species we have observed, however, all the species are multicellular organisms. Common sulphur developed pale yellow wings with black edges in order to disguise themselves from possible predators such as Parasitoid wasp2. They can blend in well with light colour flowers and mislead the predators with the pattern on their wings.
