Pontia beckerii
Pontia beckerii's ventral side shows a wonderful mimicry of plant anatomy with yellowish stems and branches along with green leaves on a white background. Dorsal side (pic 5) shows black hairs on the top of thorax, white abdomen and wings with black markings.
Spotted on wildflowers in a moist meadow next to a dry creek bed at the Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park.
Found in western United States. Also southern British Columbia and Baja California.
