Early arriving Pieris rapae? - Pieris rapae
Lisle, DuPage County, Illinois, USA
March 25, 2012
This is one of the first butterflies I've seen this year, the three or four I've seen appearing to be the same type. The Chicago area has had 15-30 degree warmer temperatures than normal over the past two and a half weeks. Is this a cabbage white? Is there enough showing to make a good ID?
