Gonepteryx rhamni L.
On the upper side the male is sulphur yellow and the female white with a greenish tinge but both have an orange spot in the centre of each wing. They never settle with their wings open and from the underside the sexes are more difficult to separate but the female is still paler.
It lives in Europe, North Africa and Asia as far east as Mongolia. Spotted pollinating pea flower ( http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/212... ) together with Pea Weevil ( http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/229... ).
