Great photo. I thought for a minute it was a two headed creature – a head at each end. Lol

A few cabbage butterflies have recently showed up in my garden. Altho’ the common names are the same I think we may have a different species (Pieris rapae). Superficially at least they look the same. (Both females have 2 black spots on their wings.) From what I can tell you have both in the UK — P. rapae being a bit smaller. Confusion reigns (at least with me!)
