Range stable.

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.

The butterfly is common and widespread in Britain and Ireland, but it is probably less abundant than formerly due to loss of its grassland habitats.

Taken with Canon 50d and Sigma 120-300 + 1.4x convertor.

Hi Billy. Your Sigma and convertor have done a fine job in you hands. The focusing and detail for a none macro lens is first class. I like the side view on the closed wings so we can see the Veins and markings. Which you have taken with sharp focusing. and natural colours. I like the pastle shades of green in the BG. well done TFS.
Nick..
