Cabbage butterfly

Cabbage butterfly (Pieris brassicae) is a lepidopter belonging to the family Pieridae. It is a native species, present throughout the Italian territory. Once it was very common, nowadays it is increasingly rare in our gardens.

 

Not to be confused with the Small cabbage white (Pieris rapae) which although similar is smaller and still very abundant.
