Cabbage White-Pieris rapae


This male was out in the impromptu butterfly garden. Apparently the Cabbage White was an introduced in the mid 1800's and has hurt cabbage crops. It hasn't gotten our garden because we don't have any cabbage or cabbage relatives. It definitely was a fluttery butterfly and pretty in it's delicate way. Just before it left the garden for good, it was moving its head back and forth--so amazing that it let me be so close.More butterflies as they stop by.
