A pest of mustard crops, one of my references suggest their caterpillars can survive inside the human digestive system if swallowed whole.

A butterfly day today. Here a pair of Cabbage Whites. The male with one wing spot is on the left, the female with two on the right.
Misty morning and well known tree on the high route to our Peninsula. Georg Forster, writing in 1777 in "Voyage round the World" said the center of young leaves, "when quite tender, tastes something like an almond's kernel, with a little of the flavour of cabbage."

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax—
Of cabbages—and kings—
And why the sea is boiling hot—
And whether pigs have wings." Lewis Carroll
I’ve got some posting catching up to do. Let’s start with this Cabbage white from June 4th. (The posts will not be in chronological order.)

Pieris Rapae is a small- to medium-sized butterfly species of the whites-and-yellows family Pieridae. It is known in Europe as the small white, in North America as the Cabbage white or Cabbage butterfly, on several continents as the Small Cabbage White, and in New Zealand simply as the White butterfly.The butterfly is recognizable by its white color with small black dots on its wings, and it can be distinguished from P. brassicae by the smaller size and lack of the black band at the tip of their forewings.
The caterpillar of this species, often referred to as the "imported cabbageworm", is a pest to crucifer crops such as cabbage, kale, bok choy and broccoli. Because of its diet, this caterpillar is known to have the most gas of any I've ever heard.
A very common summer/fall butterfly around here, but still fun to follow and photograph. But I still haven't forgiven the caterpillars for ruining my fall garden one year.
Anyone who has looked at my photostream will know that this is my favourite spot to catch the rising sun.

The Small White or Small Cabbage White (Pieris rapae) is a small- to medium-sized butterfly species of the yellows-and-whites family Pieridae. The names "Cabbage Butterfly" and "Cabbage White" can also refer to the close relative the Large White (Pieris brassicae).
The Small White is widespread across Europe and north-west Africa, reaching Asia as far east as Japan, and has also been accidentally introduced to North America, Australia and New Zealand.
This species is found in a wide variety of habitats and can turn up almost anywhere, including gardens, allotments, parks, meadows, open grassland and hedgerows.
As the name suggests, adults have whitish upper wings. The forewings have black tips and the undersides of the wings are more creamy white, featuring blackish scales. Males and females are easy to distinguish, as females have two prominent black spots and a blackish streak on the forewing. Males have one black spot. An adult's wingspan is roughly 32 - 50 mm.
Het klein koolwitje of knollenwitje (Pieris rapae) is een dagvlinder uit de familie witjes (Pieridae).
De vlinder komt in grote delen van Europa voor, maar ook in noordwest Afrika, Azië en Japan en is een exoot in Noord-Amerika, Australië en Nieuw Zeeland.
Het klein koolwitje vliegt van zeeniveau tot 3000 meter in berggebieden. Het stelt geen specifieke eisen aan zijn omgeving en kan daarom overal worden aangetroffen waar de waardplanten groeien. Onder de waardplanten van het klein koolwitje bevinden zich veel koolsoorten, vandaar ook de naam.
De vleugel heeft een lengte van 16 tot 25 millimeter en is gesierd met enkele zwarte vlekken.
Op de aderen zit een groene bestuiving. Zowel de vrouwtjes als de mannetjes hebben een donkere tip aan de bovenkant van de voorvleugel. Bij het mannetje zit daaronder nog één stip en bij het vrouwtje nog twee stippen.

I think this cabbage white is from the clutch of caterpillars that hatched on my nasturtiums a few weeks ago. This one emerged from under the window at the beginning of the week. Unable to fly it scrambled over to this plant where it stayed for a few hours. The weather was cloudy with the odd sunny interval. Early afternoon blue skies took over and it got quite warm. After a few minutes she fluttered around on the ground before taking off. I felt like a proud mum waving one of her children off to university lol :))
Savoy cabbages just ask to be photographed! I've kept it simple here with about ten light-painted images blended in PSE. I use diffused LED torchlight for illumination.
