Checkered Whites

Hi, Today I went east to New Jersey to see some Checkered White Butterflies. Very similar to the more common, for us anyway, Cabbage Whites. Where I went was just across the Delaware Memorial Bridge a few miles on Route 40 to just past NJ 48. It is here that some other folks have been seeing the Checkered White Butterfly. Seems they are Locally Common when you can find them. The edges of the road and some weedy fields held Peppergrass, their host plant, and this is where they were. These are new to me so I just had to go and see these. Have a great day, Denis.
