Anthocharis lanceolata – Gray Marble

$10.00

The Gray Marble (Anthocharis lanceolata) is a subtle yet beautiful butterfly known for its pale white wings with delicate gray marbling and soft green mottling on the underside. Males may show faint orange coloration near the forewing tips, adding a gentle contrast to its otherwise muted appearance.

Native to western North America, Anthocharis lanceolata is found from California through the Pacific Northwest and into parts of British Columbia. It is commonly associated with open woodlands, foothill slopes, and areas where mustard family plants grow.

Interesting Fact:
The Gray Marble is an early spring species, often among the first butterflies to emerge each year, taking advantage of short-lived wildflowers before the landscape dries out.

This specimen is preserved and is carefully stored in a protective paper triangle, ensuring it arrives safely and is ready for spreading or long-term collection. Collection data is included.

All specimens are ethically sourced, collected responsibly with a focus on sustainability and minimal impact on wild populations.
