Eastern Dappled White - Euchloe ausonia
HOME

Greece, March 2000

There has been much confusion, partly caused by the field guides, over the three species E. ausonia, E. simplonia and E. crameri. This species is found from Italy eastwards, south of a line through Hungary. The second and third pictures show a female laying her eggs in the flower buds of the larval host plant, a species of yellow crucifer.
