Whites & Yellows - family Pieridae |
| Whites and Yellows, also known as Pierids, are
butterflies that have white, yellow, or orange wings with small amounts
of black or red. The colors are due to the presence of pteridines,
pigments rarily found in other buterfly families. Their flight is
usually low and rapid with short stops. |
