[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Pieris napi - Green-veined White. 35 - 45mm. An extremely variable species generally distributed in the Palaearctic and ranging to North America. A great number of geographical races inhabiting this region have been described, and the species also shows marked seasonal polyphenism: in particular, the spring generation is most strongly patterned. The Green-veined White has one to three generations a year merging into each other: thus the butterfly appears on the wing practically from spring till autumn. The caterpillar lives on wild crucifers (only rarely attacking crops); the chrysalis hibernates.
Appearance: The upperwing background colour of this fairly small and delicate looking butterfly is white with the veins having a dark scaling. Both sexes have a dark tip to the forewing, although it is more pronounced on the female. Females have two spots whereas males have one. The wingspan varies between 40 and 48 mm.
Geographical distribution/ habitat: Europe through Asia and North America. Prefers fields, meadows and waysides where its host plants can be found.
Host plants: Cruciferous plants, eg. Cresses and Garlic mustard.
Food plants: Visits various flowers for nectar and is not fussy on them. In early summer though it prefers to visit dandelions and in the late summer thistles.
If you happen to know the name of the wild flower it's sitting on, I should like to know.
Treatment: Crop, brightness +5, contrast +10, saturation +10, USM and resize.

Very nice capture. This butterfly seem to have travelled a long way. The DOF is good and so is color. Thanks for posting

Nice one bente, a well taty butterfly but still up for it and going strong its amazing how little wing they need to fly.

Tres belle photo , les coulmeurs vont bien ensemble , le cadrage est parfait comme les couleurs .

Very nice capture, Bente. The splash of colour from the flower brightens up the composition nicely. Sharp detail and a very infomative supporting note. Great work.
