Very interesting Ken about the green color association with the deformities.

Here's a before and after shot of the same Cloudless individual in the same location.

I forgot to mention that the majority of these green ones also had severely deformed wings so maybe the green color and deformities are somehow related.

I've seen some really green Cloudless Sulphurs this year and these definitely were green. There were normal yellow ones next to them under the same lighting conditions.

The green flash.  Sometimes a Cloudless Sulphur will appear to be lime green if the sun's reflection is just right.  This one was puddling
with several others and was yellow again just moments later.
