Adults are large yellow butterflies with pointy forewings that also have a distinctive white spot ringed with black. Two color forms occur. In most of the summer, the undersides are a bright, clear yellow. In late summer and fall, the undersides are colored with a pink mottling along the margins and some of the veins. Wingspan: 1¾–2½ inches.
