Yellow butterfly.
I think that this is a cloudless sulfur butterfly (Phoebis sennae). My first search turned up another butterfly that looked just like it but it turned out that, that bug is found in Africa. Anyway, if my identification is correct, this is a female noted by the dot on each of the forward wings.
Hmmm … I seem to remember, years ago butterfly collecting was a hobby. People would catch butterflies and pin them to a cork board. I, myself, had a butterfly net at one time, but aside from taking in out once or twice for amazement, it never caught on. I wonder if that is still a thing.
