We began to see cabbage white butterflies in April and we continue to see them. I think we’ve now seen several generations of this butterfly and they are by far the most numerous around here this year.
Our yard is always full of them as well. And we don’t grow cabbage. 🙂 I disregard the idea that they are too commonplace and always make photographs if I can no matter how times I have. This is a very nice image, Belinda.
I know a lot of people dismiss these butterflies as they are so common, but this photograph highlights their beauty if one cares to look at them more closely.

I love their polka dot eyes, but their larva are voracious! 😉

It does, I believe they’re used to smell, hear even to touch.
