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.
