Is this a Green veined white?

Taken this morning by the canal, not sure but could it be a green veined white?

Hello Shirl,

It's a bit tricky to tell from this angle, but I think it may be a COLOR="Red"]Small White (Pieris Rapae) [/color]. The undersides of the wing would've resolved things but, even looking from above, I've a feeling the veins on the Green-Veined would be more conspicuous.

I'm sure someone will confirm shortly.

Nice picture too....

Hi Shirl,

I think it's a Large White, Pieris brassicae, as it has Two black markings per wing whereas the Small White, Pieris rapae, only has one/wing.

Yes, the wings would show more, fairly green.

Take care,

Jason

I did manage a couple of other shots and one shows some of the underside of the wing , hope it helps
