Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I’ve never seen a butterfly that was all white like this, although the wings have a tinge of yellow. Even its eyes are white! I’m also shocked that we have so many butterflies in this hot July weather. Seems that the Mexican sunflowers have attracted more butterflies than I could ever imagine in this 93 degree heat.
