For Europe, it’s “small white.” For North America, it’s “cabbage white” or “cabbage butterfly.” Some combine those two for “small cabbage white.” For New Zealand, it’s “white butterfly.”Photo taken: Sept. 6, 2020

Interestingly, there are two morphs a female butterfly of this species can take: a brightly-colored one or the dark one shown above. Males, however, can only take a brightly-colored form.Photo taken: Sept. 6, 2020
