I never usually see Cabbage White's open, but Thursday I got lucky again.
It looks very tattered, but still beautiful.
This one was in better shape!
Another open shot.....I was thrilled to see the entire butterfly for a change. Usually I get the edge of the wings, if I get anything at all.
That poor tattered one.....open but not in good shape.
It amazes me when they can still fly all torn and withered.
"I am butterfly....hear me roar!"

Great pictures. These little guys are nearly impossible to get good pictures of,at least for me.
Isn't it funny how butterflies are in different areas at different times. Cabbage Whites are our first of the season. And the other day I was just thinking about how we have our waves of the different butterflies. Always in the same order each year.
Lovely shots Mary. I have found that cabbage moths spread their wings and enjoy the sun more in autumn. They are also slower in their flight and more appreciative of the few flowers that are left.
I don't remember the last time I saw an open one!
Hi There, I'm back after a few weeks off from blogging. Hope you are doing okay. I have missed all of my blogging friends --but needed that break!
Gorgeous pictures of the Cabbage White... I don't think I have seen one --at least not recently.
Hugs,
Betsy
Thanks everyone!
Yes, Leedra,I have been noticing that certain butterflies show up early, and others more when autumn comes around. Right now I see mostly Buckeyes, Whites, and Sulphurs. And in the right places, the commas and woods butterflies, but the Monarchs and swallowtails seem gone.
