Green Veined White..
This is a very common butterfly but is often mistaken for its cousin, the Small White, particularly when in flight. As its name implies, however, the Green-veined White has white wings with prominent greenish veins on hind wing. Butterflies from broods later in the year tend to have less distinctive veining, making them seem even more like the Small White.
Upper wings have one or more spots and the forewing has a dark tip. The female has two spots on each forewing, the male only one. The veins on the wings of the female are usually more heavily marked. The Small White is similar, but lacks green veins.
