Pieris angelika

Cracker creek area

C. Guppy wrote this about a white i posted on inaturalist:Although the photos are very distant and not sharp, the second photo shows the upper forewing wing pattern characteristic of a female P. marginalis. Southern Yukon has 3 species of Pieris - P. angelika, P. marginalis, and P. oleraciea. P. oleracea would have almost no wing pattern, so that eliminates that species. P. angelika females have quite extensive black upper forewing pattern (unlike the photo), and P. marginalis females have grey upper forewing pattern (range from relatively little pattern (as in this case) to extensive grey pattern.

Yellowjackets

2018 was a good year for Yellowjackets, 2019 not so much.
I post my observations on inaturalist.ca

Today i did get some helpful information that i might want to look for again.

Yes, for the genus it is the shape of the head, i.e. the length of space between eyes and mandibles: https://cjai.biologicalsurvey.ca/bmc_05/bmc05images/keys/b11-3_4.jpg

This is, of course, not visible here but most species can also be recognized by their abdominal patterns:

red-disked alpine

May 15, 2017, along our driveway, as all alpines, this one looks black when you first spot it.
and on my walk i saw mourning cloaks, a white, blues, and quite a few tiny butterflies or moths.
and May 21 at the 911-pond two or three  red-disked alpines

holding on for dear life, as there was quite a wind blowing at the pond
