Ascia monuste
Oops! Posted this when I returned from vacation ... Didn't realize it used my current location. Thank you!
Pieridae, Pierinae, Pierini, Ascia monuste. Note the blue antenna tip and the yellow spot on the hindwing. This cannot be Pieris rapae. But New York is quite an unusual location for Ascia monuste. Please, check again the position of the lag on your map.
