LEPIDOPTERA
PIERIDAE;
PIERINAE
(Whites, yellows,
orange-tips and
wanderers)
Group of butterflies in the family Pieridae (order Lepidoptera) that are named for their white wings with black marginal markings. The adult butterflies have a wingspan of 37 to 63 mm (1.5 to 2.5 inches). Sexual seasonal dimorphism in pattern and colour occur in many species. Many of the green, slender larvae are pests. In many species, the larvae are covered with a short down, or pile. The pupae are attached to a twig by a posterior spine and held secure by a girdle of silk. Many of these species are strongly migratory. Host plants are in the families Capparidaceae, Brassicaceae, Santalaceae, and Loranthaceae.
