Apart from its greater size and slightly falcate forewings the species can be separated from the other Wood Whites by conspicuous gliding flight sometimes displayed by males. The habitat of Fenton’s Wood White is almost exclusively highly structured deciduous woodland. The only confirmed food plant of this species in Europe is Black Pea (Lathyrus niger). This butterfly is double-brooded and hibernates in the pupal stage.
