Artogeia rapae
Cabbage white is a small white butterfly (1and 1/4 to 1 and 1/8") (32-48cm). Milk white above with charcoal FW tips, black submarginal sex spots on FW (l on male, 2 on female). Well known to most gardeners because of their appetite for cabbages and radishes. The Cabbage white butterfly has spread throughout North America.
Seen in gardens, agricultural and abandoned fields, cities, plains, foothills, wandering just about everywhere. There were several of these white cabbage butterflies in a field along a path at a state park in Baltimore, Maryland.
