Pieris sp.
Pieris napi or Pieris bryoniae? Feeding on geranium sp.
Alpine pasture, altitude 900 ASL.
Further reference pending.
W,M. thanks for your comment, and thank you Thorsten for confirming the ID. I'll update the spotting.
Great spotting... all the way.. They are such small and in seen in quick flight... they are tough to spotting...
Tricky one. I think it is Pieris napi not Bryonis. Bryonis (in your case it must be the male) should usually (what ever this means) be on higher altitudes. Your 900 m looks for me the lowest level, possible but likely?? Location would match for both. The apical markings look in my eyes also more like Napi. In Bryonis the markings are usually a little bit stronger, but this is not a criteria for exclusion or inclusion.
