Cabbage White Butterfly

Melbourne, Australia

An introduced European species, it was first recorded in Victoria and Australia in 1937.
The cylindrical green larvae can be a major pest of Brassica crops but the butterfly
is also often common wherever cruciferous weeds occur.

Great close-up in such bright light creating nice shadows of the butterfly! V.
