Well here is the male, so look out next summer.
Mac-Adventures (with books! I read an eclectic mix of books, some years old, rarely prizewinners, sometimes on bestseller lists but more than likely not: but the ones I like I'll tell you about...... if you read them too, let me know! You may also find Gardening here, Home and Furniture makeovers; sometimes Food, Travel tales..... but mostly, Books.

Large White male - Pieris brassicae
Spotted in the garden in August (and onwards) this is the Large White. Quite often see them in pairs in the summer months (are they mating on the wing, then?) flitting around. But until t this year never bothered to find out exactly what they were called - just knew the old fashioned name of cabbage white because the caterpillars love cabbage leaves. And look! brassicae in the name!
Well here is the male, so look out next summer.
