STOPS ALONG THE WAY

CABBAGE WHITE BUTTERFLY

by 22 Comments

I took this photo earlier in the summer. Cabbage whites are some of the first butterflies we see in the spring and they’re still flying well into September. Given how cool the nights are getting you have to marvel at their tenacity.

    That is Pieris rapae? Interesting, didn’t know that had travelled across the Atlantic, although I see from invasive species websites that it has gone global. I suppose that was inevitable given its diet.

    That is a very finely taken shot with lovely lighting, Belinda. I have seen some of these in the garden this year.
