moths

moths have feathery antennas
the first one does, the other one could as easily be a butterfly.
I looked at hunderds of pictures of moths and butterflies but can't find these two.

Pontia sisymbrii

in the yard, May 8, 2016

Our yard is open, dry and sunny, southern exposure. Don was spilling some water, creating mud. That attracted this white, a mourning cloak and a what looked like a comma. Also in the woods a blue fluttering around.

This pale blue beauty fluttering along elfin creek.

I read in 'The Butterflies of Canada';

'It hibernates as a pupa , with the adult emerging in early spring. 

The larvae feed on a wide variety of usually white-flowering trees and shrubs.'

And indeed close to where i spotted the butterfly, are high-bush cranberries (Viburnum) and red-osier dogwood (Cornus) and along the lake a little farther are blueberries (Vaccinium).

a male, according to Crispin Guppy

I think this butterfly is biennial , meaning it's cycle is two years, next year i suppose it will be a caterpillar, and in 2019 we hope to see it as a butterfly again.
