Pieridae

This is an overview of photos and flight time of butterfly species from the Pieridae family.

Compare your butterfly photos and take a look in the map and flight time of Pieridae species in Croatia.

It’s important to note that some species of butterflies can be difficult to distinguish from each other, even for experts. In such cases, it may be necessary to examine additional physical characteristics of the butterfly, such as its behavior, habitat or genitalia examination, to make a reliable determination. Overall, while photo-based determinations can be a useful tool in identifying your butterfly, it’s important to exercise caution and check the external morphology description of the butterfly candidate on this web site. Furthermore, use additional sources of information to confirm the identification whenever possible.

Photos of some rare species are missing. I will do my best to include them in the future.
