Cabbage butterflies are now found world wide and are sometimes considered pests on such plants as cabbages. Their rather plain look gets them confused with moths at times.

They prefer to inhabit open spaces and are strong fliers. Dawn and dusk seem to be the only times they don't like to be active, and they can be seem in large clouds flying about plants where they can feed on nectar. The caterpillars eat plants that are members of the mustard family (including cabbage and kale) and destroy many dollars worth of crops.

These butterflies do not hibernate, and during mild weather they can be seen flitting about as early as January or February as far north as Washington, DC., USA.

This picture was taken June 7, 2012, in Green Lane, PA, USA.

I always wanted to try photography, and my retirement offered an opportunity to do just that. The natural world is my first love. Here you will find pictures of things both large (landscapes, for instance) and small (macro) that catch my eye. I hope the images serve as a window into the natural world many of you don't have the chance to see. In a sense, I'm trying to create a guided nature trail, sharing what information I have about the subject. I'm always grateful for new and better information and welcome all input. Learning is food for the mind and soul. Nothing is ever harmed in the picture-taking process, but some things that wander into our home (like spiders) are carefully removed from the house after they serve as "models"....
