Spring White/ Western Whites
Hi Lisa Anne and Daniel,
it seems to be a good Spring for whites in central WY. Saw this Spring White (no pun intended) and pair of Western Whites today. Peace,

Spring White Mating Western Whites

Hi again Dwaine,
Thanks for continuing to add to our butterfly archive with the Spring White, Pontia sisymbrii, and mating Western White, Pontia occidentalis, images. Jeffrey Glassberg indicates in his book Butterflies Through Binoculars The West that the Spring White rarely stays still for long, which makes your photograph especially noteworthy.
