Checkered White
Description:
Found by Mary and photographed by the "post office pond." I believe this is a Checkered White (Pontia protodice, Family Pieridae (Whites and Yellows)). It remained quite blase as I crouched nearby, moving gradually closer.Mary calls this one the Victorian Lace Butterfly.
