Whites (Pieridae) | Species |
The Pieridae family contains species more commonly known as "whites" and "yellows". The pigment (yellows and oranges) which occur in some species from this family are derived from uric acid waste products which deposit themselves on the wing scales during pupation. The pupae of all species from the Pieridae family are positioned in an upright fashion, with a single silk girdle around the middle. Species seen but not photographed:
