Butterflies

Green-veined White (Pieris napi)

A medium sized, white butterfly in the family Pieridae (White, yellow butterflies)
Flying in February | March | April | May | June | July

The Green-veined White (Pieris napi) is a similar size to the Small White and whilst the green-yellow veining of the underwing is a clear diagnostic feature, the upper wings are very similar. However the black tip in the Green-veined White is usually less 'solid' and extends in blotches along the wing edge.
