Cabbage White

The Cabbage White is a well-known butterfly with white wings measuring 50 to 60 millimetres across. The front wings have black tips. Female butterflies have two black spots on each front wing, while males have only one. The underside of the wings is yellowish-green. Originally from Europe and Asia, this butterfly has spread to North America, Australia, and New Zealand. Because of this, it is now one of the most common butterflies worldwide. In Britain, the Cabbage White can be found all over the country. It lives in gardens, allotments, farmland, and waste areas. The butterfly is seen from March to October and produces two or three generations each year. Adult butterflies feed on different types of flowers. The caterpillars eat plants like cabbages and related vegetables, which can cause problems for farmers. The butterfly flies in a fluttering but straightforward way. It spends the winter as a chrysalis, which is attached to walls, fences, or plant stems.
