Pieris rapae
White butterfly with black spots.
While going into a store I spotted this beautiful butterfly on the sidewalk. I took this picture and then it flew away.
It's a butterfly not a moth and it is a female of th Small Cabbage White one of the most common Whites in US and probably all over the globe. You can't see it clearly in your spotting: Moths usually have straight or feather-like antennae, whereas butterflies always have clubbed antennae.
