[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Small White (Pieris rapae) is a small- to medium-sized butterfly species of the Yellows-and-Whites family Pieridae. It is also commonly known as the Small Cabbage White. The names "Cabbage Butterfly" and "Cabbage White" can also refer to the Large White.

It is widespread across Europe, North Africa and Asia and has also been accidentally introduced to North America, Australia and New Zealand where they have become pests on cultivated cabbages and other mustard family crops.

In appearance it looks like a smaller version of the Large White. The upperside is creamy white with black tips to the forewings. Females also have two black spots in the center of the forewings. Its underwings are yellowish with black speckles. It is sometimes mistaken for a moth due to its plain-looking appearance. An adult's wingspan is roughly 32--47 mm (1.25--2 in).

Seems like the pretty butterfly really enjoys the flower!
Excellent details in the insect, good point of view on level with the eyes...
Attractive colour palette, macro work well done with accurate focus!

Nice capture, shame abouts its wing.
I wonder how it would look rotated clockwise a few degrees.

I love the colors on this one! Amazingly sharp as usual! Poor little butterfly has a broken wing, but I bet he still flies well. Great capture!
