This is one of the all-white butterflies that inhabit our
Pacific Northwest area - about the same size and coloring as the Veined
White butterfly, except that the Veined White has pronounced ridge colors
on the wing underside and delicate white above wings. These butterflies
are usually flying from April to August in two or three broods. The black
spots on the wings indicate the sex of the butterfly: 1 on male, 2 on female.
