I wonder how she damaged her wing

today I learned that 1 spot = male and 2 spots = female. This Cabbage White was flitting around one of my Lavender bushes. This was the best shot I got as unfortunately I didnt have time to stay around and watch her.

Oh I didn't know that about the spots!!!!

@gigiflower interesting isnt it. When I looked up "white butterfly with grey spots" that's what I learned. Isnt Google amazing. Now you will be able to watch them in your garden and know which is which

Looks like she made a narrow escape from a predator. Beautiful shot, Chris. I can't wait for my lavender to bloom.

[Babs]

I didn't know that about the spots either. Maybe she was in a bit of a domestic.

[Chris K]

@onewing ha ha that's funny Babs

[Chris K]

@peggysirk my Lavender is a bit overgrown and needs a good trim but she was certainly enjoying the flowers

[Sam]

@cruiser I often chase them around the garden trying to see where they land so I can take a photo - now I will know whether to call them Mr or Mrs!

[Dione Giorgio]

I have learnt something from you this time, too. Didn't even know they have different spots. Lovely shot.

[Francesca Ciarrocchi]

[Pyrrhula]

Great close up shot of the butterfle and flower. Her age do , it getting worse by time.
Most of the dunes are forbidden area`s in our country too.

[Gayle]

Such a lovely image and interesting butterfly information. :-)

[Yao RL]

I wish there is no nerve on the wing and he is not so self conscious. Haha

[Jenfurj]

Thanks for the education update. We take so much for granted and then we learn so much from all the great people on 365.
