The butterfly is locally very common in fields of cabbage or field mustard at low to high elevations (Alt. 300 - 1500m), and is also a known pest of these vegetables. Along with the migration of these vegetables, the butterfly is thought to be expanding its distribution.
The populations in this region are uncertain. I tentatively follow the previous treatment, but further taxonomic study is needed.
