Aporia crataegi, the black-veined white, is a large butterfly of the family Pieridae. A. crataegi is widespread and common. Its range extends from northwest Africa in the west to Transcaucasia and across the Palearctic to Siberia and Japan in the east. In the south, it is found in Turkey, Cyprus, Israel, Lebanon and Syria. It is not present in the British Isles and northern Scandinavia. \nDescription:\nThe black-veined white has a wingspan of 51 to 70 mm. Females are commonly larger than males. The upperside of both forewings and hindwings is a translucent white boldly veined with black. The underside is similar in the male but the female has brown veining. Moreover, the female loses most of her scales by rubbing her wings together, resulting almost-transparent.\nBiology:\nThe flight period of the black-veined white is between April and July. The adults are quite social and their abundance varies greatly from year to year. The eggs are laid on the food plant, usually a member of the rose family Rosaceae and often on trees and bushes.\nThe eggs are laid in groups of 30 to 100. They take about three weeks to hatch. The caterpillars tend to remain in a group with a communal larval web. This species has one generation each year. The caterpillars overwinter communally in a webbing tent with entwined leaves. Caterpillars feed close together on the leaves of the food plant at first, before dispersing in the later developmental stages to other parts of the tree. \nThe pupal stage lasts about three weeks.\n\nDistribution and habitat:\nIt occurs in open forest, grazing land, orchards. lanes, gardens, meadows and thickets throughout most of Europe. This species is extinct in the British Isles (source Wikipedia). \n\nThis Picture is made during a long weekend in the Eifel (Germany) in June 2019.

The Orange-tip Butterfly (Anthocharis cardamines) - a male.
Green-veined white is a very common resident in the Netherlands. The species prefers more natural habitats than the other Whites. It mainly occurs in relative humid habitats, such as woodland edges, woodland clearings and grasslands, but also found at he edge of heathland and in gardens and parks. Cardamine pratensis and Alliaria petiola are mostly used as larval foodplants.\nThe species flies in three generations and hibernates as a pupa. Due to prolonged emergence from the pupa, the different generations overlap and butterflies can be seen almost continuously from the end of April until the beginning of September.\nDistribution: Throughout Europe.\n\nThis is a common Species in the Netherlands.
