Due to data availability we here treat Euchloe ausonia (HÜBNER, 1806), Euchloe simplonia Freyer, 1829, and Euchloe crameri BUTLER, 1869, as the Dappled White species complex, knowing that they are normally being treated as distinct species. The Dappled Whites are species of warm, dry places. They occur on flower-rich grasslands and waste ground, along hedges and the edges of woods. Various crucifers are used as larval foodplant, such as a Charlock (Sisymbrium arvensis), Woad (Isatis tinctoria), buckler mustards (Biscutella spp.), Evergreen Candytuft (Iberis sempervirens), and Crested Bunias (Bunias erucago). The caterpillars feed on the flowers and ripening seeds. They are double-brooded and hibernate as pupa.
