Butterfly pupa for ID please.

Can anybody put a name to this one? I found it today in West Yorks but didn't bring it home.Thanks for looking.

Hi Charlie,

It looks like a Green-veined White to me. See http://www.ukbutterflies.co.uk/species. ... =napi#Pupa for more information.

Hi Vince,

I did suspect it may be a Green-veined White pupa so thanks for your second opinion. It's not a species I've seen the early stages of before so I'll go back and try and remove it intact and rear it through just to make absolutely sure.

Hi again,

I managed to collect the pupa intact the following day and this emerged from it overnight (Mar.13th)

Well ID-ed Vince!

Excellent

It's a bit early, but so is everything else so far.
