Checkered White Butterfly

Yesterday afternoon I went on a wildflower-hunting excursion near the farm I grew up on, a few miles from where I live now.  The first photos taken were of this butterfly I’d never seen before---a Checkered White:

The flower might be a Black or Brown-eyed Susan, but I’m not sure.

  3. You at least know the names of the butterflies, that is something I never knows.
