SOME COMMENTARY REGARDING BUTTERFLY IDENTIFICATION:

"Get a guidebook, take a few years, and you'll still make mistakes. Butterfly identification has an initial, deceptive simplicity. 
Individuals in a species vary naturally, an eyespot slightly larger, a color brighter.
Males and females of a species can be strikingly dissimilar.
So can genetic morphs or forms within a gender.
In a single species, butterflies that live in a range of habitats can vary in appearance and produce different populations or geographical races, each better adapted to its environment.
Species can also produce generations of distinct morphs in the same place at different times of the year.

One Tiger Swallowtail is black. On the same flower, another Tiger Swallowtail is yellow.
Another species produces red butterflies in the wet season and blue in the dry. A species darkens in response to air pollution.
A species gains an eyespot. A species loses one."

The above commentary taken from the book, "An Obsession with Butterflies", by Sharman Apt Russell (a wonderful read).

   There is a similarity in color and pattern of the Black Swallowtail caterpillar with that of the poisonous Monarch and Queen. 
   This Batesian mimicry may given the Black Swallowtail caterpillar some protection from predators that have experienced either or both of the other two species.

14. Cabbage White (or Cabbage Butterfly) (i/E) (ph)  ______ (PE:7) (K:47) (W:84)  FL  MD  ME  NC  NH  NJ  PA  VA
    Pieris rapae
    
    The Cabbage White is the most abundant and widespread butterfly in the United States. It was introduced from Europe, perhaps as pupae on a cabbage crate, the Small White (as it is known in England) first appeared in Quebec in 1861. Since then it has spread to almost all of North America, except the Far North and the Deep South. 
    
    The Cabbage White is remarkably adaptive and resilient. It occurs in places that most butterflies find inhospitable. Often it is the only butterfly around.
    
    As it is a competitor for cruciferous crops such as Brussels sprouts, it was fought relentlessly with DDT in England. But it became resistant even as its predatory beetles were being knocked out, leading to a net increase in larvae on the poisoned sprouts. 
    
    While Pieris rapae is considered a pest in cabbage fields and broccoli patches in the United States, its eggs and larvae are easy to remove by hand in the garden.

    The Regal Fritillary is a species of tall-grass prairies and occurs in remnants of that habitat. Its geographic range has been from eastern Montana east across the United States to Maine.
    However, it is now very rare or at best locally common in that range, and now rare or absent from the former range east of the Appalachians.
    it has been recorded in southern Ontario and Manitoba, but seems not to have permanent colonies in Canada.
    
    The sudden and poorly understood decline of the Regal Fritillary in the eastern United States has been startling. The butterfly was locally common until the 1970s. It simply vanished by about 1988. Presently, only a handful of known colonies remain in the East, now in Pennsylvania and Virginia. The Virginia colony was found only in 1997.
    
    In Pennsylvania, the Regal Fritillary colony is on the grounds of the Fort Indiantown Gap military facility in the south-central part of the state. That colony is the largest population of the species remaining east of Indiana. That population in Pennsylvania is about 1,000 adults, and it has been secure since monitoring began in 1998.
    
    The Virginia population, referred to above, is on the grounds of another military facility, the Radford Army Ammunition Plant.

    The Tawny Crescent seems to be extirpated in some eastern states such as Pennsylvania & New York, such that now there is an isolated population in southwestern North Carolina & adjacent Georgia.
    
    In North Carolina, Phyciodes batesii is common at a few sites in Clay County. The occurrence of the butterfly in the mountains is not known north of Buncombe County, North Carolina.

     The name Red Admiral is a latter-day contraction of its older name  "Red Admirable". It is not closely related to the true admirals (in the genus Limenitis), but is instead a lady (in the genus Vanessa).

     An very old name for the American Lady was Hunter's Butterfly. 
     
     The pink flush at the base of the ventral forewing of the American Lady rivals the brightest pinks in the animal kingdom. It is more intense than the color of any flamingo. (see the third photo below)

     The common names given to cloudywings in eastern North America just don't seem right. 
     The Southern Cloudywing could more aptly be called the Eastern Cloudywing.
     The Confused Cloudywing (below) might better be the Southern, or the Southeastern Cloudywing.
     And the Northern Cloudywing (also below) might better be called the Common Cloudywing, as it is the most widespread species in the genus ranging further north into Canada and further south into Mexico than either the other two cloudywings just mentioned. It is also far more common and widespread than any other member of the Thorybes genus.
