White for ID - Provence

Post by Matsukaze »

Hi All,

Just sorting out some old photos and I came across the one attached, which at the time I noted as Bath White. Now I don't think it is! However I cannot make sense of the underwing markings - the nearest I find is Provence Orange-tip, but whilst the plant is right, surely that ought to have orange on the tips...

That's Euchloe crameri - western dappled white.
