Great Southern White
Ascia monuste

Observation date: November 15, 2020
Submitted by: memse
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This was an unfamiliar butterfly to me in the San Jose del Cabo estuary. Upon research it appears to be a Great Southern White. I was able to take a number of in-focus photos of the butterfly so I joined to post because it appears that none have been documented with a photo in BCS.
