Young, endemic Cabbage Trees (Cordyline australis), Trentham Memorial Park, New Zealand. The Cabbage Tree is one of the most distinctive and iconic trees in the New Zealand landscape. A Monocotyledons tree that grows up to 20 metres (66 ft) tall with a stout trunk and sword-like leaves. British navigator/explorer James Cook bestowed the name 'cabbage tree' in 1769 because the young leaves were found to be edible, and this name has stuck to this day. Known to Māori as tī kōuka the tree was previously used as a source of food, durable fibre for textiles, anchor ropes, fishing lines, baskets, waterproof rain capes and cloaks, and sandals.
are the only butterflies I'm seeing in my garden... at least they are enjoying the milkweed flowers!
This little butterfly was fluttering around the lake near where I was standing. It was very restless and only stopped at each flower for a few seconds.
The Cabbage Tree Emperor Moth is an African moth species belonging to the family Saturniidae. The final instar caterpillar is equally impressive and is about 70mm in length and about 15mm in diameter! This captive bred male has a wingspan 13cm and emerged on 05.07.2016.
Thanks for your visit… Any comment you make on my photographs is greatly appreciated and encouraging! But please do not use this image without permission.

I was outside photographing Bees with my Macro Lens, when this beauty flew in. The Cabbage White Butterfly landed about 10 feet from where I was shooting. She chose one of our Cornflowers for her nectar snack. Photo taken in our backyard in Camas, Washington.

I got an external back-up hard drive (on sale at Costco) and put all my photos on it. Now, I've deleted most of them from my computer and have freed up over 300 GB of space! Yea.
It had rained earlier that morning, so I think it was taking a drink from the leaf.
Thanks for your visit and comment, so appreciated. Have a great day!
06:12 in the morning and the sun was just starting to show its face above the mountain, with some clouds still waiting for the golden light.
Edit: Sheldrickfalls had also posted a pic in his stream of the same tree albeit from a slightly different angle and you can see that here: flic.kr/p/2iAwP6g

Pieris rapae, the small white, is a small- to medium-sized butterfly species of the whites-and-yellows family Pieridae. It is also known as the small cabbage white and in New Zealand, simply as white butterfly. The names "cabbage butterfly" and "cabbage white" can also refer to the large white. Wikipedia
A team of experts from the University of Exeter have shown that mimicking the v-shaped posture adopted by Cabbage Whites to heat up their flight muscles before take-off, can raise the amount of solar power by nearly 50 per cent.
The secret appears to be the angle that the butterflies hold their wings, approximately 17 degrees from horizontal. It could even improve the effectiveness of sunbathing.
Cabbage White butterflies are known to take flight before other butterflies on cloudy days – which limit how quickly the insects can use the energy from the sun to heat their flight muscles.
This ability is thought to be due to the v-shaped posturing, known as reflectance basking, they adopt to maximise the concentration of solar energy, which allows for flight.
During our visit to Sunnyvale WTP and searching for birds, we spotted this beautiful, white Butterfly. There must have been hundreds of them flitting around like little white ballerinas. We were excited to see the wildlife making an early Fall return. We saw many types of butterflies and followed this one until she finally lighted. Pieris rapae, also known as the Cabbage Butterfly, is a white small- to medium-sized butterfly. The male and female differ as the female has two black spots and the male only one.

The cabbages in the garden have been badly eaten by something, and we only have 2 or 3 survivors, none of which are looking very good. I like the colours on these leaves...
I was inspired by Edward Weston's photo of a cabbage leaf.
In the middle of shooting this, I set my camera to B&W and it really did make a difference on how I lit this.
