Pieris rapae
Citron-yellow butterfly with black spots
Gardens, meadows
This butterly flew on a lavender ("sivka"), which is quite common here.
I think this is a Small Cabbage White, Pieris rapae.
Please, join the new mission of European butterflies and moths and post all your corresponding spottings. We need a lot of people which would join the group to make it global! Thanks and best regards from Switzerland!

Yes I think you're right, the shape doesn't fit. From it's shape it looks more like Pieris rapae but then the color is queer.
Meik, i'm not sure if this is the right butterfly, since on my picture it has round wings, and on the one you're suggesting it has differently shaped wings ... But thank you anyways! :)
