The Checkered White (Pontia protodice) is a striking butterfly with white wings patterned in bold gray and black checkering, especially prominent on the forewings. Its crisp, high-contrast appearance makes it one of the most recognizable white butterflies in open habitats.
Native to North America, Pontia protodice is found across much of the United States and into parts of southern Canada. It is most commonly associated with dry, open areas such as fields, roadsides, and disturbed habitats.
Interesting Fact:
This species is highly mobile and can expand its range northward during warm seasons, making it more common in some years depending on climate conditions.
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.
