    Default Small White Butterfly - female (Artogeia rapae)

    Goodness it's hard getting these things isn't it? They just wont STAY STILL!!

    Ok, correct me if I'm wrong, but I never find it easy comparing my picture with those I find to ID with.

    The second picture is a little cut off, but as she opened her wings I had to catch it before she flew off. She did fly off before I could pull back slightly to get her in properly. I think that they are amazing up close, the furry body is beautiful and their antenna are amazing.

    Nice captures. You did well.
    I agree they don't stay still for more than a second or two

    You should have seen me following the thing around the garden.. no wonder the next door neighbours think I'm mad!
