Florida White . . .

. . . a long way from home! 🙂 But then with Costa Rica in the geographical center between North & South America, just about any species from either continent can be here! Though this is my first time to see this Florida White, Appias drusilla (linked to my gallery). I’ve seen this one in Florida with less of this beige or tan coloring, but I believe my ID is correct even though I will be the first to report one from Costa Rica on butterfliesandmoths.org, though iNaturalist has 36 observations from Costa Rica and says they are found all the way south into Brazil. Here’s two shots from my garden . . .

¡Pura Vida!
