All of these are still flying in coastal NC along with many more species.

Yes, most are very common here as well, but still very nice looking insects

Very nice specimens, but I'm not sure you're Colias is philodice. I have never seen C. philodice with the amber colored flush in the forewings. I believe it may be a form of C. eurytheme (see attached photos from the Butterflies of America website) or a possible hybrid of the two species. But I could be wrong. Just my thoughts.

I compared the C. philodice with other C. eurytheme (which are very common here), and the best way to tell them apart is by the underside. The C. philodice has a darker underside.
