Great Southern White [Ascia monuste]

    This predominantly south Florida species was photographed at Sisters Creek boat ramp and park on Heckscher Drive in Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida on 2/15/2013 where it was very common. According to Daniels (2003) "The butterfly occasionally experiences tremendous population outbreaks. Extensive northward movements of adults along the coast often follow such explosions in numbers."
