Aster visitor

I found this Cabbage white butterfly (Pieris rapae) on a New England aster (Aster novae-angliae) blossom earlier in the month. There are still some butterflies around but most of the aster's yellow has faded to brown. There are no vegetables in the garden so I'm not worried about the Cabbage white caterpillar's appetite. Yesterday we challenged record heat and the first frost will come leter this week, ah Autumn.
