Howarth’s White

Was new to me this year and now a commonly seen butterfly in my garden. The obvious things for ID are the stand-out veins, the dark black dot above and below two lesser gray dots. This one was seen last week at 8th Ave. & 3rd Street in Atenas.

The second most common White in my garden this year is this new species for me: Howarth’s White – Ganyra howarthi (link to my gallery). Here’s one shot with more in the above gallery. It is easily identified by the one big black dot beside two lesser gray dots, 🙂

And tomorrow I will share the two other “Whites” that I’m seeing in my garden this year. A busy year for butterflies! 🙂
