North American Ecology (US and Canada)

Migratory in North America except south Florida (Scott 1986). Habitats are SUBTROPICAL AREAS. Host plants can be trees, shrubs, or vines with known hosts from Leguminosae. Eggs are laid on the host plant singly. There are multiple flights each year with the approximate flight time SEP1-OCT31 in the northern part of the range and year-round in the southern part of their range (Scott 1986). Some sources treat this species as synonymous with Phoebis statira (Scott 1986).
