I have finally managed to get a photo of a white butterfly, having tried all last year without success - much to the amusement of my long-suffering family!!!!!

Having got a photo I now can't identify the butterfly! Please can anyone help? Thanks!

The mottled underwing of the Orange-tip affords it excellent camouflage!

Speckled Wood in a patch of sunshine that had penetrated to the woodland floor in Crowlands Wood at Marks Hall Gardens and Arboretum.

No matter how long I waited, he wasn't going to open his wings for me!!!!!
