The butterfly is camouflaged in this picture. Its wings are up and it was sitting in the sun on a leaf. I was surprised how still it was sitting on the leaf. Usually when I try to take a picture of a butterfly it always moves around and flits from flower to flower.
The Small White (Pieris rapae) is a small- to medium-sized butterfly species of the Yellows-and-Whites family Pieridae. It is also commonly known as the Small Cabbage White. The names "Cabbage Butterfly" and "Cabbage White" can also refer to the Large White.
