Orange-tip Day still goes on. Another by-products from this fruitfull day. Two Green-veined Whites making love on small leaf. Picture taken in Botanic Garden of course, during break from chasing Orange-tip.

We had got biggest day for all football fans in Lodz yesterday. Derby match between LKS Lodz and Widzew Lodz. Two old enemies, tons of hate between hools of these two teams. Holy war. I'm Widzew supporter for all my life :-) I started in early eightees, when Widzew beats such teams as Manchester United, Liverpool or Juventus. Golden era. But yesterday we played on ground of our bigges foe - LKS. And we won! 3:1 for Widzew, first place in league table! Yeah! See my workshop and you'll see which kind of atmosphere is always on derby matches.

Back to Green-veined.

The Green-veined White can be found throughout the countryside, but prefers damp, sheltered areas. It breeds on wild crucifers and is not a pest of cabbage crops. In many areas away from human habitation, especially on higher ground and in northern latitudes, this species is more often encountered than Large or Small Whites. The dusky vein markings on the undersides of the wings are variable in colour and make it well camouflaged when it roosts among vegetation.

Foodplants:
A range of wild crucifers is used: Garlic Mustard (Alliaria petiolata), Cuckooflower (Cardamine pratensis), Hedge Mustard (Sisymbrium officinale) Water-cress (Rorippa nasturtium-aquaticum), Charlock (Sinapis arvensis), Large Bitter-cress (C. amara), Wild Cabbage (Brassica oleracea), and Wild Radish (Raphanus raphanistrum). Nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus) and cultivated crucifers are also used occasionally.

Habitat:
Adults occur widely but tend to congregate in damp, lush vegetation where their foodplants are found, especially hedgerows, ditches, banks of rivers, lakes, and ponds, damp meadows and moorland, and woodland rides and edges.

Hello Greg,
Great shot!
My first impression was that I would like to see the picture taken from lower POV, but later I noticed the composition build on the leaf which is great, and now I don't really know what to think ;-)
I just know that I like it a lot!
VERY WELL DONE!
