Yowza!

So what equipment are you using to get such close-up close-ups :) ?

Amazing shots!

Cheers,

Canon 1DmarkII N =Canon100mm f2.8 Macro +65mm of exrentiom tubes + Canon 580EX flash.

Meant to ask for confirmation as to wether this is a Large or Small White.

Thanks Martin.

I believe this to be a female Large White (since the female has 2 black spots on the forewings). See http://internt.nhm.ac.uk/jdsml/research ... =brassicae

Given the prominence of the spots on the underside shots, I'd go for female.

Cheers,
