Pieris marginalis (margined white) is a butterfly species seen across the coast of Western North America as indicated by data collected by eButterfly. [1]
Pieris marginalis (margined white) is a canopy generalist who feeds on the plant family of Brassiceae. [2] The species is unique as it has been seen near and away from disturbed habitat; [2] indicating an adaptation for habitat generalization.
Erysimum, or wallflower, is a genus of flowering plants in the cabbage family, Brassicaceae. It includes more than 150 species, both popular garden plants and many wild forms. The genus Cheiranthus is sometimes included here in whole or in part. Erysimum has since the early 21st century been ascribed to a monogeneric cruciferous tribe, Erysimeae, characterised by sessile, stellate (star-shaped) and/or malpighiaceous (two-sided) trichomes, yellow to orange flowers and multiseeded siliques.
The green-veined white is a butterfly of the family Pieridae.
The Pieridae are a large family of butterflies with about 76 genera containing about 1,100 species, mostly from tropical Africa and tropical Asia with some varieties in the more northern regions of North America and Eurasia. Most pierid butterflies are white, yellow, or orange in coloration, often with black spots. The pigments that give the distinct coloring to these butterflies are derived from waste products in the body and are a characteristic of this family. The family was created by William John Swainson in 1820.
Pieris rapae is a small- to medium-sized butterfly species of the whites-and-yellows family Pieridae. It is known in Europe as the small white, in North America as the cabbage white or cabbage butterfly, on several continents as the small cabbage white, and in New Zealand as the white butterfly. The butterfly is recognizable by its white color with small black dots on its wings, and it can be distinguished from P. brassicae by the smaller size and lack of the black band at the tip of their forewings.
Pieris brassicae, the large white, also called cabbage butterfly, cabbage white, cabbage moth (erroneously), or in India the large cabbage white, is a butterfly in the family Pieridae. It is a close relative of the small white, Pieris rapae.
Pieris, the whites or garden whites, is a widespread now almost cosmopolitan genus of butterflies of the family Pieridae. The highest species diversity is in the Palearctic, with a higher diversity in Europe and eastern North America than the similar and closely related Pontia. The females of many Pieris butterflies are UV reflecting, while the male wings are strongly UV absorbing due to pigments in the scales.
Pieris angelika is a cold-climate butterfly of the family Pieridae. Its main range is the Yukon, Northwest Territories, northwestern British Columbia, and Alaska. Its taxonomic name may change in the future, because it was described and named before 1983.
Pieris marginalis reicheli, the Reichel's margined white butterfly, is one of the many subspecies of Pieris marginalis. Its range is mainly confined to British Columbia, Canada.
Pieris oleracea, or more commonly known as the mustard white, is a butterfly in the family Pieridae native to a large part of Canada and the northeastern United States. The nearly all-white butterfly is often found in wooded areas or open plains. There are two seasonal forms, which make it distinct from other similar species. Because of climate change, populations are moving further north.
The Pierinae are a large subfamily of pierid butterflies. The subfamily is one of several clades of butterflies often referred to as the whites.
Pieris canidia, the Indian cabbage white, is a butterfly in the family Pieridae found in India, Nepal and Indochina. Pieris rapae is one of the most closely related species in the Pieridae.
Reichel is a German surname. Notable people with the surname include:
The Canary Islands large white is a species of butterfly in the family Pieridae. It is endemic to the Canary Islands (Spain).
The Madeiran large white is a subspecies of the large white, endemic to Madeira. It can reach a size of 55 to 65 millimetres. The wings are pure white with a wide black tip on the apexes of the forewings. Its natural habitat is the laurisilva laurel forest. Considering that it was last collected in 1977 but not found despite a 15-year survey during the 1980s and 1990s, it might be either extremely rare or possibly extinct. One reason for its decline might be a virus infection which brought out after the small white was introduced to Madeira in the 1950s. Another reason for the decline is due to the introduction of the wasp parasitoid. The wasp parasitoid was last discovered in the western Canary Islands in May 2006. It uses pieridae as a host and is commonly found where pieridae species are in abundance. The scientific name commemorates Thomas Vernon Wollaston, an entomologist who has discovered several insect taxa on Madeira.
Pontia protodice, the checkered white or southern cabbage butterfly, is a common North American butterfly in the family Pieridae. Its green larva is a type of cabbage worm.
Carcharodus alceae, the mallow skipper, is a butterfly of the family Hesperiidae.
Pieris mannii is a butterfly in the family Pieridae.
Mythimna conigera, the brown-line bright-eye, is a moth of the family Noctuidae.
Pieris krueperi, the Krueper's small white, is a butterfly in the family Pieridae. It is found on the Balkan Peninsula and in Iran, Baluchistan, the Kopet-Dagh and from Asia Minor to Central Asia, as well as in Oman. The habitat consists arid areas with scanty vegetation up to 2,500 metres (8,200 ft) in the mountains.
