Large White (Pieris brassicae)

This Large White, is the first butterfly I've seen in my garden this year, which is very disappointing so far. Hopefully I'll see more as the summer progresses.

It's also known as a Cabbage White and it is the one that gardeners dislike most (together with it's relative the Small White).

Perfectly caught with such great detail! It looks more green than white- on the underside at least- so it blends beautifully with the leaf!

Ein Meister der Tarnung. Die Aufnahme ist auf den Punkt scharf und detailreich!

Glad you think so Gudrun.............thank you very much. I think the wings are picking up most of the green from the sun reflecting off the leaves. You're right though, it does make great camouflage.
