A CABBAGE BUTTERFLY ( Pieris monuste L. ) 
Florida. H. T. Fernald (May): A flight, under way February 6, seemed to have 
been checked by colder weather. It was under way again at Daytona Beach 
(going north) on April 10; still going north on April 2U at Daytona Beach; 
and I saw a car in Orlando on May 1 with many butterflies on the radiator. 
It had evidently come in from the East Coast. On May 10 I drove to Indian 
River City, then north to Daytona. The migratory flight was over, although 
a little north of New Smyrna they were quite abundant, feeding freely on 
Bidens sp. , and what little movement there was was northward. Practically 
none at Daytona.

State has appeared throughout central Missouri. In places the shrubbery, 
tree foliage, and grasses are literally swarming with these crane flies.
