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.
Checkered white, Pontia protodice, Family Pieridae. Ranges throughout the southern United States and Mexico, according to bugguide.net/node/view/3557. The University of Florida states that this species "also colonizes northern states and occasionally parts of southern Canada. It is most common in disturbed areas where its favored host plants occur."The UF site also shows the difference in wing markings between males and females. This individual is a male.
