Green-veined White (Pieris napi)
Wingspan: 40 - 52 mm
Description: The green-veined white is a familiar common butterfly.
Despite the English name, the yellowish-green veins on the undersides of the
wings are variable in colour, and provide excellent camouflage when this
butterfly is at rest amongst leaves. In both sexes, the upper surfaces of
the wings are yellowish white and the forewings have blackish tips. Males
have a central dark spot on the forewings, whereas females have two. The
caterpillar is well camouflaged with a green body covered with small hairs
and fine black dots. Each black spiracle is surrounded by a yellow patch.
Range: It is widespread throughout Europe, but is absent from some
islands in the Mediterranean. It extends into North Africa and across Asia
and is also found in North America.
Biology: As the green-veined white feeds on wild crucifers, it is not
a pest of cultivated cabbages like some related white butterflies.
This is a double-brooded species. The first generation of adults emerge in
April. The females lay their pale eggs singly on the undersides of leaves of
small plants; the first brood females lay their eggs in May, and the
caterpillars emerge after one or two weeks. The caterpillars feed on leaves
for around one month and then pupate whilst attached to the stems of the
foodplant. After two weeks, the second generation of adults emerge. The eggs
of this generation are laid in July or August, and the pupae hibernate
through the winter, with the adults emerging the following year. In very
warm years a third generation may be produced, with the adults flying in
September.
Threads: Although this species is not threatened at present, it has
become less numerous in many parts of its British range. This is thought to
be caused by the fact that many of its preferred habitats such as lush, damp
meadows have been drained or destroyed over the last few decades. Furthermore
