The Pink-edged Sulphur (Colias interior) is a bright and delicate butterfly known for its yellow to orange-yellow wings accented by a subtle pink edging along the margins. This soft pink border gives the species its distinctive and elegant appearance among sulphur butterflies.
Native to northern North America, Colias interior is found across Canada and into the northern United States, particularly in boreal and subarctic regions. It is most commonly associated with open areas in coniferous forests, bogs, and tundra-like habitats where its host plants grow.
Interesting Fact:
This species is specially adapted to cooler climates, with its caterpillars feeding primarily on blueberry and huckleberry plants (Vaccinium spp.), allowing it to thrive in northern forest ecosystems.
This specimen is preserved and is carefully stored in a protective paper triangle, ensuring it arrives safely and is ready for spreading or long-term collection. Collection data is included.
All specimens are ethically sourced, collected responsibly with a focus on sustainability and minimal impact on wild populations.
