The only butterflies around

I have not yet seen any others this season.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

what a pretty capture - I would imagine that you should see more tho?

[Christina]

Just lovely

[Babs]

Same here, it is strange isn't it. We are seeing hundreds of these at the moment. Apparently, it is due to the wet weather that we are seeing so many cabbage white butterflies

[Issi Bannerman]

Lovely, lovely capture.

[Wylie]

I don't see many around here at all. Might have to stop killing caterpillars?
Lovely shot of this cabbage white.

@koalagardens I should image it is because of where we live Katrina. The vineyards and olive groves get sprayed regularly, nothing could survive that :-(

[Pam]

Its color is so pretty against the purple flowers. Awesome macro shot.

@pamalama Thanks Pam :-)
