Lahana kelebeği (in Turkish)
Pieris rapae L. – Small white

The Small White (Pieris rapae) is a small to mid-sized butterfly of the Yellows and Whites Pieridae family. It is also commonly known as the small cabbage white or just the cabbage white.

Distribution
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.

Description
A female Cabbage WhiteIn 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.

Habits
Like its close relative the Large White this is a strong flyer and the British population is increased by continental immigrants in most years. Like other "White" butterflies it hibernates as a pupa. Along with the Large White it is sometimes known as the Cabbage White or Cabbage Butterfly.

Lifecycle
Copulation refusal actionIt has two flight periods, April–May and July–August.

Eggs
Its caterpillars can be a pest on cultivated cabbages, but it will readily lay eggs on wild members of the cabbage family such as Charlock Sinapis arvensis and Hedge Mustard Sisybrium officinale. The eggs are laid singularly on foodplant leaves.

Caterpillars
Known in the United States as "Imported Cabbage Worms", the caterpillars are green and well camouflaged. Unlike the Large White they don't store the mustard oils from their foodplants and so are not distastful to predators like birds.

Hello Ersin,
the structural details of the head, body and wings are nicely seen. Suitable point of view to show the entire butterfly with pretty good sharpness. The species shown is
- Pieris rapae
Best wishes, Peter

Hello Ersin,
A delightful image of this pretty Small White, as identified for you by Peter. Your note reads well and you must make the correction in the caption too.
The focus on the butterfly is sharp and the colours and patterns on the wings are just beautiful.

Hi Ersin,

You have potraited this butterfly very nicely. It's good detailed.

I would have prefered it displayed on a darker background, but you can really choose I know.

Thanks,
