Lady Lemon - _TNY_1538

The brimstone butterfly (Gonepteryx rhamni) is in many other languages than English known as the lemon butterfly, Zitronenfalter in German, citronfjäril in Swedish, citroenvlinder in Dutch, le citron in French and so on.

 

This species has a sexual dimorphism in the colour though so while males are more yellow, one that is more greenish white like this one on a heartleaf oxeye (Telekia speciosa) are easy to tell as a female.
