The Bath White

Pontia daplidice

Description:

The Bath White is a small white butterfly with a wingspan of 45 to 50 mm. The underside of the hindwing has a pattern of greenish blotches, which is characteristic of the Bath Whites and easily identifies it from other pierids. Sexes can be differentiated by markings on the forewing. The male is differentiated from the female by the markings on the upperside of the forewing. The apex of the forewing is black with white spots and lines. There is a black spot at the end of the cell. In the case of the female, there is an additional discal spot in 1b. The female also has an obscure row of terminal and marginal spots on the upper hindwing.

Please, take the suggested ID as I wrote it. You cannot be sure about the species. With Pontia edusa/daplidice you are on the safe side.

It is either Pontia edusa or Pontia daplidice. You can't separate neither by range nor morphology, only DNA. There are still a lot of discussion about the taxonomy.
