The California Sister (Adelpha californica), sometimes placed in the genus Limenitis), is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae. The butterfly is named for its black and white markings on the forewing that resemble a nun's habit. It is commonly found on oak trees (on which it lays its eggs) and by water sources where it sips salts from the mud.The California Sister is found in oak woodlands through much of California and western Oregon to extreme southern Washington. Recent phylogenetic studies confirmed that it represents a distinct species from the sister butterflies found in southwestern Mexico (Mexican Sister, A. fessonia), which it was previously included as subspecies, as do those occurring from Utah and Colorado south through Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Mexico to Guatemala (Arizona Sister, A. eulalia).
