White Pearl

Not 100% sure this is the correct ID, in my book is is called P. unionalis but it looks the same as the one on Wiki.

Nice capture Claire - Does look very similar to the one in the Wiki which incidentally I took and WildFlower very kindly identified for me.
Other sites also have species that are the same as your picture:

  Yes I am sure it is the same, just odd that my book has it different, maybe a synonym, will check. Thanks! Posted 10 years ago

Palpita vitrealis and P. unionalis are synonyms, but I think the spots here are different. It has only 1 dark spot along the edge of the wings instead of 4 and there is one more spot in the middle. Usually that means a different species but I cannot find a good match. Posted 10 years ago
