The Margined White (Pieris marginalis) is a clean and elegant butterfly with bright white wings accented by subtle gray to black margins, especially noticeable along the forewings. Its simple yet refined appearance makes it a classic member of the white butterfly family.
Native to western North America, Pieris marginalis is found from California through the Pacific Northwest and into parts of western Canada. It is commonly associated with open woodlands, meadows, and mountainous regions where plants in the mustard family grow.
Interesting Fact:
Like many whites, this species’ caterpillars feed on plants in the mustard family (Brassicaceae), and it is often one of the more abundant butterflies in suitable habitats during its flight season.
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.
