Great Southern White: Eco Pond, Falmingo, Everglades National Park

We saw Gulf Fritterlaries and Zebra Longwings (butterflies) pretty much everywhere in the Everglades, but we only saw the Great Southern White at the far south end, out toward the Flamingo Campground along the Eco Pond trail…and there we saw hundreds of them. I tried hard to make this a Florida White, but I am pretty sure it is just a Great Southern. Florida White is more common in the shade and more restricted in habitat…to the point of being endangered. The Great Southern is by far the more common of the two. In my brief research this morning I could find no information that would give me confidence in distinguishing the two, so GSW is the default id here. 🙂
