[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Pieridae are a large family of butterflies with about 76 genera containing approximately 1100 species, mostly from tropical Africa and Asia. These butterflies are characterised by mainly white or yellow coloration, often with black spots. The sexes usually differ, often in the pattern or number of the black markings.

The larvae (caterpillars) of a few of these species feed on brassicas, and are agricultural pests.

Males of many species exhibit gregarious mud-puddling behavior when they may imbibe salts from moist soils.
