This has been a very big year for Cabbage Whites. It has also been a big year for Checkered Whites, which I had not recorded here before. It seems that the Checkered Whites like to perch, mostly on black mustard, whereas the cabbages perch briefly, if at all. When I see a white perching, almost always it’s a Checkered White.

Mostly sunny to increasing cloudy to light sprinkles. The high temp was 100 at 2:30 PM. This area has been ravaged by drought and heat for the past 4 or 5 years. I haven’t had a productive visit at this location since late July 2017. Very little nectar source was seen. No water was seen.
