Bill Horne, had 2 clouded sulphurs that emerged from chrysalis' from a
clover patched that we have covered with bottomless cages at our plot in
Branford on Sunday 5 December 1999.

It seem very late for  these sulphurs to just be emerging.  I don't suspect
they would have time to mate and lay eggs before the cold weather sets in.
And if they do accomplish this, could the eggs overwinter.  The literature
says that they overwinter as larvae and chrysalises.
