These are the same butterflies that are coming to the creosote and the red bird of paradise bushes. I've tried to identify them. I believe they're Cloudless Sulphurs. I'd be delighted if someone would confirm that or correct me if they're something else. Other posts on Tortoise Trail about mesquite:

What treasures these photos are! You take me away from my hot and humid context and give me fresh breezes, clear light, and cool air. Thank you!
Both the butterflies and the mesquite are gorgeous, and I think they are indeed Cloudless Sulphurs - beautiful creatures they are, and then there is that perfect blue sky.
Beautiful. I still come by. I have been very busy the last two weeks though.
Hi Pam, love these photos!
Thank you for the link "Desert USA".
Have a nice weekend!
I just started thinking about the divided leaved plants you've posted and started wondering if that leaf design is the most common in hot climates--maybe it has some advantages over larger leaves?
