PEARL CRESCENT

Hi again, Here is a small early colorful butterfly, smaller than the ubiquitous Cabbage White.  The Pearl Crescent is fairly common and seen in almost all states east of the Rockies.There are many 'cousins' or similar species to the Pearl Crescent, making ID on some rather difficult. Asters are the food and caterpillar host, so usually not a difficult plant to find. In some good years I can find over a dozen in an acre on my farm. So long for now, Denis
