Poor Cabbage white

Another butterfly in our backyard.

While our supper was cooking, this Cabbage White settled on the waxball bush catching the low sun.

(I call it waxball; some call it snowberry. You may know it as Symphoricarpos albus. You got to call it sumpin'. [Sing that like Bob.])

If the poor Cabbage White had a better name, it'd probably be one of our most appreciated butterflies. The name refers to its (granted: bad) habit of laying eggs on Brassicas and thus gobbling up what we want to eat. But it's still pretty.
