White Butterflies - Pieridae

White butterflies aren't actually all white. You do get time in many different colours, but mainly feature white, yellow, black and red. There are a lot of species that are very similar and very hard to tell apart. They are also quite difficult to photograph as they don't stop much. (That's why so many of my photos are in flight and blurry)
