Two butterfly on single flower.
So, Rajendra, please, take Pieris sp. as scientific name and note the 2 candidates Pieris brassicae and Pieris canidia in the description section, until we got a 100% safe ID, so we are on the safe side.
There seems to be specimens of Canidia with smaller spots....

If it were me at would leave it at Cabbage white, Pieris sp., although I'm favoring brassicae. Someone else might jump in and make the final call with other specific criteria :-)
Yes, I was also thinking of Canidia, but the spots seemed to be "too small" for Canidia. But I might be wrong. Should we take Pieris sp. instead of the species?
What do you think?
bayucca, have you considered P. canidia? I can see a tiny bit of black at margin of the hindwing but I too am unsure... By the way, welcome to Project Noah Rajendra!
