(Linnaeus, 1758)

The Small White (Pieris rapae) is a small- to medium-sized butterfly species of the Yellows-and-Whites family Pieridae. It is also commonly known as the Small Cabbage White. The names "Cabbage Butterfly" and "Cabbage White" can also refer to the Large White.

It is widespread across Europe, North Africa and Asia and has also been accidentally introduced to North America, Australia and New Zealand where they have become pests on cultivated cabbages and other mustard family crops.

In appearance it looks like a smaller version of the Large White. The upperside is creamy white with black tips to the forewings. Females also have two black spots in the center of the forewings. Its underwings are yellowish with black speckles. It is sometimes mistaken for a moth due to its plain-looking appearance. An adult's wingspan is roughly 32--47 mm (1.25--2 in).

This is a delicate composition, where the butterfly really stands out in the fine shades of green!
Excellent details in the insect, silky-crisp feeling in the wing where the pattern is nicely reproduced...

Hello Mariana,
Lovely composition and color-combination for this picture of Piersis napi(not P. rapae). May be a tiny more sharpness could haven even improved this fine picture.
Kind regards
Anne

Hello Mariana
i think Ozgur is right, it's a Pieris Napi ( Green-veined White )
this image is wonderful, the white butterfly stand out very nicely against the blurred green BG, superb sharp details and lovely composition
Have a great sunday
