Pieris rapae
The Cabbage White (Pieris rapae) is one of the most common butterflies in the United States and may be found virtually anywhere in the U.S. or Canada with the exception of south Florida and south Texas. The species was introduced to this country from Europe in the 1800s and is now one of the most familiar butterflies in many gardens and parks.

This shot was taken with a Canon EOS 1D Mark III and EF 300mm F/4 L IS lens and 2X extender and Canon 580 flash.
The Cabbage White shown here was at Kettle Creek State park, Clinton Co., Pennsylvania, in June, 2010. This image was taken with a Canon EOS 1D Mark IV and an EF 300mm F/4 L IS lens and 2X extender and 580 flash.
