Taxonomy Identification: Family Pieridae. First named by Linnaeus in 1758
Colour: The topside (recto) of box sexes is white edged in black, the female having one extra black spot on forewing. The underside (verso) of both sexes is similar – white forewings with greenish makings, hindwings green and white.
Size: Wingspan 37-45mm
Comments & Applications: A delicate white butterfly, common in Europe but a rare immigrant to the United Kingdom. The common name of this butterfly comes from a piece of needlework that figures this species, supposedly showing a specimen taken in or near Bath in 1795. Dried butterflies make the perfect subject for school science projects. Also for framing, domes, photography, interior design and film applications.
Format: Choose either SET/Mounted on pin cabinet ready OR Unmounted/papered with wings folded, requires relaxing and setting
