At the Woodard Bay Preserver a few miles northeast of Olympia, Erika and I observed quite a few white butterflies bouncing over the forest floor (8 May 2020). A submission of this photo to
Butterflies and Moths.com proved the butterflies to be Margined Whites,
Pieris marginalis. These creatures are found in forests and meadows in western North America from Alaska to southern California and the Rocky Mountain West. Adults feed on nectar from mustards and other plants.
