Observation notes: I'm thinking this may have been made a full species since my guidebook (Swift Guide) was printed? This seems to best fit outside of West Virginia White which would be completely out of range.

Coordinator notes: most experts now treat this as Pieris marginalis, Margined White. I think the napi species is Old World only
