A pair of white butterflies



I saw this pair of butterflies (or moths?!) in UP Clarkfield. I think it is mating season and they are coming out more. Unfortunately, unlike the Danaids, these types prefer to fold their wings vertically, making them look like leaves. Their wing uppersides are much better to look at, but you will seldom catch them in full glory.
What is remarkable in my photo is the clarity of the veins in the wings. I think this is the mating season for this butterfly type. I saw a group of five or seven flitting together among the hedge plants.
