Cabbage White
Pieris rapae

Very widespread and common, and not the flashiest, but they have a delicate beauty nonetheless.

Lovely image, the curving line of the perch adds a lot - fine butterfly pose.

Hi

A nice shot of a common but lovely butterfly - I like the backdrop with those radiating grass blades, adds nice interest

All the best
Matthew

The curved leaf makes an excellent design element- beautifully done!

I like this one a lot. Nice combination of colors and the curved perch is perfect.

They do have a delicate beauty, Craig - as long as they're not laying eggs on my greens! This is a beautiful shot.
