Pieris napi
Spring brood males have very feint markings and often lack the single spot on each forewing, whereas summer brood males have more pronounced markings, this would explain why in photo 4 the 2 white dots on the forewing are not as marked as in a later brood. commonly found across the British Isles in damp grassland and woodlands.
Seen in Potteric carr nature reserve, owned by the Yorkshire wildlife trust
