Large White ?

Post by Chris_A »

Am I right in thinking these are a pair of mating Large Whites. Taken at Lankham Bottom Dorset this weekend.

Those are small whites. The typical apical pattern is visible here from the underside and the classic small white fork in v.7 is also visible. The pattern of black scaling on the hindwing is very characteristic for small white too.
