Another Green Veined White - I think - can't see much green

Definitely GVW.

And, just like the Orange-tip, there are no scales that are actually green on the underside! This is an illusion made up of yellow and black scales.

The only British butterfly that actually has green scales on its wings is the Green Hairstreak.

Thanks Pete

Here's a crop of GVW scales. Note the dark scales are black, not green.
