Hi Dear TL friends

The last post of this small butterflies serie.

The Large White or Cabbage White Pieris brassicae is a butterfly in the family Pieridae. The butterfly is called the Large Cabbage White in India.
The Large White is common throughout Europe, North Africa and Asia to the Himalayas often in agricultural areas, meadows and parkland. It is a strong flyer and the British population is reinforced in most years by migrations from the continent. Its wingspan is 5 to 6.5 cm.
The wings are white, with black tips on the forewings of both males and females, the female also has two black spots on each forewing. The underside is a pale greenish and serves as excellent camouflage when at rest. The black markings are generally darker in the summer brood.
The female lays batches of 20 to 100 yellow eggs on plants in the cabbage family and can be a pest on food crops. They seem to have a preference for cultivated varieties of Brassica oleracea such as cabbage and brussel sprouts. The caterpillars are yellowish green with yellow lines and black spots and feed in groups in plain view on the leaf surface. They gain protection from predators by obtaining distastful mustard oils from their foodplants although large numbers are sometimes lost to the parasitic wasp Apanteles glomeratus. The chrysalis is also yellowish green with black spots. The species over-winters as a chrysalis. It has two broods in a year, the first is on the wing in May and June and the second in August.

Hi Aires, great serie of splendid butterflies, also this one has wonderful colors and great details, very well done, it's a shame that you finish here, go on! ciao Silvio

Excellent Aires. Good colour and well defined detail. A very well composed image. Our cabbage moth is just plain white no where near as attractive as this one. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Targa Tasmania II’

Hello Aires,

Hi Aires,

Great serie pictures of the butterflies, they're so beautifull! Very well done!

Great composition. I like the contrast between the brightness of the flower and the subtle colors of the butterfly. Just wish there were more DOF (the edge of the upper right wing is a bit out of focus).

Hai Aires,
Beautiful picture of this butterfly,
Erg mooie close-up,
