Although, once a widespread and relatively common woodland butterfly in southern England, the Large Tortoiseshell has been considered extinct in Britain throughout my lifetime. Occasional sightings since the 1960's were deemed migrants from the continent or, more often, released captive bred stock.
However, with records along the south coast slowly increasing over the last few years (14 already this year), and confirmed breeding in at least 2 Sussex locations last year, it seems re-colonisation from the continent is a real possibility. In the meantime, it remains a very rare sight in the UK, so it was great to catch up with this one on Good Friday.

Pieris brassicae, the large white, also called cabbage butterfly, cabbage white, cabbage moth (erroneously), or in India the large cabbage white, is a butterfly in the family Pieridae.

The Large White (Pieris brassicae), also shares the name of ‘Cabbage white’ with its smaller relative the Small White (P. rapae), enjoying a sip of Buddleia nectar. Primrose Hill Community Woodland. Bath, BANES, England, UK.
After mating the pair remain in tandem so that the male can guard the female and stop other males trying to mate with her as they prepare for or rest during oviposition.

Do you remember my photo 'A work in progress' ?
Well, I finally finished the basic pattern. It is a very large extension of this origami-tessellation, called 'Start'.
It is the first time I ever folded such a large grid!
Now the fun part begins, adding the final pattern by altering the magical hexagons ;-))
Folded from a hexagon 43cm, grid 1:128, 'Anett'-paper.

Thanks for the visits, faves and comments its greatly appreciated.
