I took this photograph of a cabbage white butterfly in Wellfleet, Massachusetts a couple of weeks ago, but it could have been anywhere, as they are the most common and widespread butterfly in the country. And they’re not even native, having been introduced from Europe in the 1860s.
Cool shot Sean. Is there a significance to that black spot on the wing? Camouflage? Is it indicative to the species? Sean, Sean, never underestimate the power of the cabbage white butterfly. “From caterpillar into chrysalis or pupa, from thence into beauty.” -Dr. Hannibal Lecter-“Silence of the Lambs”
