[Archive – 30-07-2023] Pieris brassicae is somewhat of an oddball among my local whites due to also appearing in spring, despite officially being classified as a summer species, with its earliest first appearance so far having occurred on 30 April, 2024. In terms of size they often aren't noticeably larger than P. rapae, with the latter reaching their maximum size much more often in my study areas whereas P. brassicae doesn't. And despite a decent amount of individuals during this season, they were not observed anywhere near my cauliflower plants that, on the other hand, did attract plenty of small whites. #lepidoptera #butterfly #largewhite #germany #canoneos700d
