Large Orange Sulphur (Phoebis agarithe): Recorded a few times but not the most common sulphur in our yard.
Orange Sulphur (Copias eurytheme): Common but irregular.
Sleepy Orange (Eurema nicippe): A regular visitor and seen throughout the year. Cassia is the preferred plant for adults but oftentimes seen foraging in Salvia chamaedryoides.
Tailed Orange (Pyrisitia properpia):
Dainty Sulphur (Nathalis iole): Larval host plants are typically asters. After a few recent plantings and self seeding we have seen a huge increase in Dyssodia & Desert Marigolds in our front yard and with it an increase in Sulphurs, including the Dainty.
