[BACK TO LIST] GREEN-VEINED WHITE Pieris napi
A more sedentary and rural species than P. brassicae and P. rapae, although there is certainly much movement of indivifuals and a wide tolerance of habitat causing considerable overlap, and confusion, with P.rapae especially. Widely distributed; favours damper, lusher habitats than P. rapae, and extends quite high up into the hills into the east. On the other hand, it also occurs in town and city parks.
