Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy…
Photographed in Reno, NV-Topaz filter applied
The cabbage white butterfly (Pieris rapae), also known as the cabbage butterfly and the imported cabbageworm, is so named because the larval stage feeds on members of the cabbage family (Cruciferae). This species is found around the world in temperate climates. Upperside of wings white; forewing with black tip. Two submarginal black spots in female, one in male. Underside of hindwing and forewing apex evenly yellow-green or gray-green. It is usually the first butterfly to emerge in spring. Habitat: Almost any type of open space including weedy areas, gardens, roadsides, cities, and suburbs.
This butterfly species is especially cool because it is so easy to raise. It’s a great pet for children. Also in schools it is a great teaching tool to learn more about nature.
