Which White?

Post by Oy »

White confuse me LOL!

Large or small?

It was about the same size as the Green Veined White I posted earlier.

Funny you should say that, since I think this is a male Green-veined White.

The characteristics I've gone on are:

1. The more-vertical nature of the edge markings on the forewings.

2. The "broken" nature of this marking.

3. The overall texture/ridging on the wings.

Cheers,

That would make sense - it was on the same group of plants as the one I posted earlier.
