They are in different subfamilies - Aphrissa statira belongs to subfamily Coliadinae, whereas Pieris rapae of course belongs in Pierinae, so they are not very closely related.58chevy wrote: ↑Wed May 17, 2023 7:06 pm I can't help but notice the morphological similarity between the Cabbage White and Aphrissa statira, which is a member of the Sulphur family and has a more southerly range in the USA (native to S. Texas & S. Florida). Does anybody know how closely (or distantly) the 2 species are related?

An update to this post, in Australia its common on nasturtium, they lay on this as a preference in my garden in southern Australiaadamcotton wrote: ↑Wed May 17, 2023 8:04 amWhen I was a boy in the UK I only ever found P. brassicae on Nasturtium. Maybe P. rapae only occasionally feeds on that plant, or I missed its less obvious larvae.

Same here in Wisconsin. All those species are typically very battered in April and May here.livingplanet3 wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2024 6:57 pm The atalanta I'm seeing here in TX are nearly all in fine condition - no flight wear at all; definitely from recent, local emergence. Same with the V. cardui, V. virginiensis and P. interrogationis.

They're interesting in flight because they appear grey-ish white, rather nondescript. They're surprisingly tough to spot on the white flowers.

Chuck,
The spring brood has, as usual, been abundant here in the mountains of eastern TN and southwest VA. The little light-colored spring ones are always the biggest flight, with few of the darker, longer-tailed 2nd brood showing themselves. And the late summer 3rd brood is the least common of all, sadly. They're big and impressive, a lot like the FL specimens in your photo.
I generally take the spring ones at mud puddles (not a lot of flowers out when they're freshly flying), but the summer and late summer ones are usually seen at milkweed, buddleia, zinnias, etc. A milkweed along a dirt road hosting S. diana and E. marcellus together is a pretty sight!

Re: Buying specimens in bulk for an entomology workshop
by Chuck » Fri May 10, 2024 11:55 am
I'm amazed I even have any. I always kept many extras around for projects such as this, but it's been a long time since anyone had asked me so I unloaded thousands last year to an institution.
So I can send 100 or more if you want. But why not have the kids catch then set fresh specimens? It will be easier to set them, and the specimens would be theirs.
Which tribe/ nation are you working with?

Those that I observed this past week look dirty white in flight; later generations appear to be bright light blue in flight.
