 As I had some money left over from the winter fair I thought I would treat myself to another series of my favourite European pierid. |

I love Pieridae and I was so happy I finally found Pieris erutae montana here in Thailand. It is very local mountainous species and it was treated before as a subspecies of P.napi

Lovely series indeed. I believe it was mentioned here on the forum that it hails from the Canary Islands. Is it endemic to those islands or is it found elsewhere. Also, would you know if it is considered a common sort of thing there or more so a localized species. Those females are very unique and attractive and I would just have to have a couple of columns of them....

A member of the forum is breeding these now so it's possible to obtain ex pupae quality for a reasonable price.

Don't have any wild caught, all mine are bred and about the same size as brassicae.
