Euchloe crameri
Found in South Western Europe, mainly Spain.
The Larvae feeds on (Sinapis arvensis, Moricandia foleyi , Sinapis alba, Biscutella spathulata, Erucastrum naturiifolium).
Fore and hind wings pearly white on the upperside, with a black apex, mottled white.
Underside of the forewings very similar, although the apex spot is greenish; in the hind wings, the greenish colour predominates, with white spots.
The Female is larger, with a more greenish colour, a consequence of the superposition of black and yellow scales.
Very similar to Euchloe ausonia.
Bivoltine, reproduces twice a year, with the first brood in February, and the second between April and May.
Flies until August.
