Caterpillar on Streptanthus cordatus var. piutensis - Pontia sisymbrii
Southeast of Bodfish, Kern County, California, USA
June 10, 2010
This caterpillar was found on Streptanthus cordatus var. piutensis...as were the 1st and 2nd instar larvae in the post below:

 

This is presumably the 3rd instar stage of Pontia sisymbrii...compare with this BOA web page, and the related page here which lists Streptanthus cordatus as a host (see bottom of page). Further remarks on ID of these caterpillars can be found under the post below:
