The weather was beautiful here, so I got out and went to Cherokee WMA, a place where I go to look for leps. Today wasn't going too well--not much nectar available. As I was getting ready to leave, I noticed a lot of small white asters by the roadside. There were quite a few nectaring butterflies, mostly Dainty Sulphurs or Nathalis iole. There was a small white butterfly in the midst of the others. As I examined it closer, it was obvious that it was a Dainty Sulphur. Remembering there are white forms for other pieridaes, I checked this one out. These little guys are very rare. I found one photo on the internet at the Dallas Lepidoptera website. It was a pinned specimen. This definitely made my day worthwhile! Here is the photo:
