Large
White Pieris brassicae (Linnaeus, 1758)  |
| Status
.....Over a hundred years ago, J.W. Carr stated this
butterfly to
be ' very plentiful in all parts of the county,
but in some seasons rather scarce and that the
Spring brood seems to be usually the larger in
point of numbers'. Not much appears to have changed
regarding the butterfly's present status in that time and the Large
White is indeed, still a very common butterfly with a widespread
distribution. |
