Large White
Pieris brassicae
A compact adult butterfly entry representing the captured Large White form, found in gardens, farms, and open flowery habitats across much of Europe, North Africa, and Asia. It drinks nectar, patrols for mates, and lays yellow eggs on cabbage-family plants. The black-tipped white wings make it easy to recognize in flight. This form is famous as both a familiar garden butterfly and a serious brassica crop pest.
