Eurema lisa

[MexicoDoug at aol.com]

Rick,are you sure it was E. lisa?  For your case at least, seriously, that 
whimpy, fragile b-fly couldn't handle any real winds.  I always thought they 
were most probably _Ascia monuste_ or distantly possibly _Appias drusilla_.  
(i.e., the Southern White, or possibly the Tropical White).

 flight of _Eurema lisa_ which was seen by several people and 
 fishermen stated their boats were literally covered with these 
 butterflies. Christopher Columbus recorded a similar experience 
 off the coast of the Dominican Republic  >>
