The orange-banded sulfur butterfly is the largest of the genus Phoebis. Its range extends from northern South America to Florida and Texas in the north. It owes its name to the bright yellow color with the orange wing spots. Large numbers of these moths can often be observed absorbing salts from puddles or urine stains.
The installation of the zoological specimen in the plexiglass box was made in a German taxidermy studio.
