Because they actually destroy cabbage leaves ! Also the rumour says that they eat them leaves, but nobody took any pics of that crime ... LOL
What a background to set off the simplicity and elegance of butterfly.

This white beauty stands out so well against the blurred, purple background.

The Canon does a super job with macro, Sandi. Nice composition and a nice positioning of the subject. Rather pretty.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
