The Pine White (Neophasia menapia) is a distinctive butterfly with bright white wings marked by bold black veins and borders, giving it a crisp, high-contrast appearance. Its angular patterning sets it apart from many other white butterflies.
Native to western North America, Neophasia menapia is found from California through the Pacific Northwest and into parts of western Canada. It is closely associated with coniferous forests, particularly pine and fir habitats where its host plants grow.
Interesting Fact:
Unlike most white butterflies that fly in spring or early summer, this species is active in late summer and fall, and its caterpillars feed on conifers such as pine and fir (Pinus and Abies).
This specimen is preserved, fully spread and professionally mounted in a clear PE display frame, making it ready for immediate display. Collection data is included.
All specimens are ethically sourced, collected responsibly with a focus on sustainability and minimal impact on wild populations.
