Too Large - _TNY_5032
I always seem to forget the differences between the three common whites here, but with a little help, I now know this is a large white (Pieris brassicae), also known as the cabbage butterfly.
I shot this at Åva-Stensjödal in the Tyresta National Park, and when I found it, I had the Canon MP-E65mm lens on the camera. This is both good and bad as while it produces wonderfully detailed shots - it is also unable to focus further away than this so getting the entire butterfly in frame was literally impossible. I suppose you could say this in fact is not just a "large white", but a "too large white", right?
