Pontia protodice. As long as we have January butterflies I think I'll keep uploading photos of them . (At the beginning of December I had assumed, incorrectly, that I was through with butterfly shots until March, like last year.) In my yard in Austin.

Found by Mary and photographed by the "post office pond." I believe this is a Checkered White (Pontia protodice, Family Pieridae (Whites and Yellows)). It remained quite blase as I crouched nearby, moving gradually closer.Mary calls this one the Victorian Lace Butterfly.
