The Small White is a small- to medium-sized butterfly species of the Yellows-and-Whites family Pieridae. It is also known as the Small Cabbage White and in New Zealand, simply as White Butterfly.
This is a male as it has only one black wing spot.
White butterflies are unusual in that they don't mind overcast days and light rain. They are considered a pest, especially by market gardeners because of their liking for Cabbage, Broccoli, Cauliflower, etc.
This is a RAW photo taken in b/w with Canon 450D some time ago.
Comments very welcome.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
A really beautiful image Lyn, very dreamy.

"Never stop photographing. It is very likely that your best photograph has not yet been captured"
Lyn, we have them here too, they are very active and can be hard to shoot. I think this is very well done, I like it in B&W, and I like that we can see it's body through it's wing. This is a splendid B&W. Tigs♥ =^..^=

This Image GRABBED my EYE. That's Why I Stopped By. Thanks For Sharing ! Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience
I have heard people call them Cabbage Butterflies, LE. The mono gives is a classy look.
Makes me think of Katherine Hepburn for some reason. Maybe it is because of the way she floated around in the movie "The Philadelphia Story."
Well done.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
A nice b&w Lyn. Its wings are so delicate that they barely hide its body. They tend to flutter around a lot so that they hard to get a picture of here. I see many of the monarch imitators around though.

Lyn - The white cabbage butterfly lends itself nicely to b/w photography. Thad
