Memory of summer

A memory of summer, a butterfly accidentally introduced to North America,
the Cabbage White, before the dust was brushed from its wings.

One dark spot mark it a male, I believe.

    Lovely wing shot, again. WOW, the detail is so awesome, and the spots mark it a female? Didn’t know that, interesting.

    Thanks Diane. I think this is a male, (I just checked, usually two spots on females, one on males).
