Pieris rapae
It was feeding around a row of cabbage grown along the roadside.

Bill, I'm glad your spotting is identified.
The two species, Pieris rapae and Pieris Canidia have been distributed in Asia.
It's very interesting to put different photos for identification.
For the spotting is complete you can put a link to wikipedia on "Reference URL" and the "scientific name. "
Regards.
I hope so, eula.
By the way, I think my spotting is probably small cabbage white instead of indian cabbage white as the species you suggested has black apexes with sawtooth-like edge which are absent from the species in the photo.
The two whites are very similar and common. The apexes would be the key to distinguish them. (2 more photos have been added)
I hope that this site is known by many people to enjoy nature and photography.
Best regards.
Thank you, Eula.
I still have some more photos of butterflies and other organisms actually. And I'll post them here and in your mission later.
There're many HK people having better photos and interesting spottings, I believe they haven't spot this website yet!
Hi, Bill. I have set the butterfly spotting in the mission Butterflies & Moths of the World. Your photos are beautiful.
I've added the link to Wikipedia in "Suggest ID". If you agree you can finish completing your spotting.
Regards.
