Description

Family Pieridae

'The Pieridae are members of the Superfamily Papilionoidea, the true butterflies. Worldwide in distribution, most species are found in the tropics. Adults have medium to small wings that are white, yellow, or orange, with some black or red, and many have hidden ultraviolet patterns that are used in courtship . Species with more than one generation usually have distinct seasonal variation in appearance . Adults of all species visit flowers for nectar, and adults of both sexes have three pairs of walking legs . Males patrol in search of receptive mates, and females lay columnar eggs on leaves, buds, and stems. The majority of caterpillars of North American whites and sulphurs feed on legumes or crucifers (members of the Mustard family ). Typically, temperate species overwinter in the pupal or larval stage , while tropical species overwinter as adults.

'[1]

Physical Description

Habitat

Many different open areas including lawns, alfalfa and clover fields , meadows, road edges .

This species is characteristic of open fields and meadows, being numerous in parts of the state in cultivated fields where legumes, such as alfalfa, are growing. It is never seen in wooded habitats , nor does it often occur in gardens and residential areas. (ref. 104652)

Many different open areas including fields, lawns, alfalfa and clover fields, road edges, meadows. (ref. 105573)

Typically found at an altitude of 0 to 3,925 meters (0 to 12,877 feet).[2]

Biology

Diet

Caterpillar hosts: Plants in the pea family (Fabaceae) including alfalfa (Medicago sativa), white clover (Trifolium repens), and pea (Pisum sativum). Adult food: Flower nectar of many plants.

Foodplants are in the legume (Fabaceae) family; alfalfa and clovers are commonly used in the East. Nectar plants are typically those in cultivated fields or in meadows, such as clovers and alfalfas. (ref. 104652)

Reproduction

Eggs are chartreuse, laid singly on various legumes, especially clovers (Trifolium). Caterpillar bright green with darker stripe on back, lighter green stripe on side. Green chrysalis overwinters . Eggs laid singly on host; caterpillars eat leaves. Hibernation is by third-stage caterpillars.

Behavior

Flight: Three flights in the north from May-October, 4-5 in the south from March-November.

Flight period: Occurs from late February into November, very rarely into December and January. Apparently four broods occur in the state, based on the flight charts. (ref. 104652)

Taxonomy

Notes

Name Status: Accepted Name .

Last scrutiny: 08-Feb-2007

Similar Species

Care must be taken to properly distinguish these butterflies from the similar and more common Orange Sulphur, especially in the springtime when some Orange Sulphurs show very little orange on the dorsal surface. Clouded Sulphurs never show any orange coloration.
