Description
Female orange sulphur (Colias eurytheme) - a species of butterfly - specimen, pressed inside of an almost flat, rectangular, plastic container. There is a raised "bubble" in the center of the plastic that houses the body of the specimen.

Original label suggests that the specimen was collected in Fruita, Colorado. Due to its unusual coloration, it may be an albino, leucistic, or otherwise aberrant individual of the species, but it is not labeled as such.
