@llcooljae submitted: Hello! I saw this little guy outside my window this (5/5/23) morning in Westchester, NY. A cursory search didn't turn up anything. Hoping you have better luck IDing it than I did! Thx! Big fan of your tumblr :)

Hi! Thank you! This sweet little flutterby appears to be a small white, Pieris rapae :)

This white butterfly is named 'Cabbage white' because...

When they were larvae, they love to eat cabbages!

05/09/2023-Lakeside and home

Pictures taken in this set: 1. Beautiful hemp agrimony out the front which it was nice to make the most of as this comes to its end a bit, it seems to have gone so quick having it about this summer. 2, 4, 5 and 8. Views on another scorching and very sunny day at Lakeside. 3. Mossy rose galls at Lakeside. 6. Some of a few rose hips I enjoyed at Lakeside and in the front garden today shining in the sun, seeing some against blue sky looking great too as did hawthorn berries. 7. One of two beautiful Small White butterflies I enjoyed near each other and flying together at one point. 9. A grasshopper I was fixated on at the end of a smashing Lakeside lunch time walk. 10. A pretty crane's-bill, possibly a small-flowered crane's-bill on the green out the front I always like seeing these out here.

I was excited to see a colourful Kingfisher zip across Concorde lake, interestingly a year to the day that I photographed one on a Lakeside lunch time walk they are habitual in the time of year they're about here it seems. The Great Crested Grebes, a Swallow overhead, Chiffchaff, Blue Tit, Blackbird, Jackdaw, Collared Dove and Woodpigeon were other Lakeside bird highlights. It was great to see gorgeous Goldfinches shining in the bright light in the tree opposite the house at the end of my lunch time walk and see Starlings piling into feed and bath in the garden in some precious time watching the garden after work seeing House Sparrows then too. Stupendous views of balmy Brimstone, exotic looking Red Admiral and wholesome Small Copper completed a delightful array of butterflies seen on the walk. I got brilliant views of mesmerising Migrant Hawker again including two together beside Concorde Lake with female Common Darter seen well along the northern path and I saw my first Common Blue Damselfly for a little bit. It was good to see a hornet at Lakeside again. Other plant highlights at Lakeside were great willowherb, broad or purple leaved willowherb, water mint, creeping thistle, nightshade, scarlet pimpernel, red bartsia, pineappleweed, agrimony, blackberries and sloe, with yarrow on the green out the front and bits of stunning lavender out the front, steeplebush and some sunflowers still going enjoyed at home.

As they say in the industry, you either know fashion or you don't. And Miss Rarity certainly knows it!

@chaotic-cuttlefish submitted: Hi! A few days ago I found several small green caterpillars chomping on the collard greens i'm growing for my turtle, so i collected them and put them in a little container with some of the more chomped-on collard leaves, and one of them seems to be starting to pupate - I'd love to know what kind of friends these are! (I'm in northeastern IL)

Hello! Criminals eating your collard greens!!! They appear to be cabbage whites, Pieris rapae. They are not native but they are literally all over so nothing to be done except remove them if you don't want them nibbling your turtle's foods.

Fun among the flowers

“Communication with spirits,” Bruce has this habit of nicking his thumb with his teeth, pretty, hazel eyes glossy with thought. Clark doesn’t need supervision to see how beautiful he is when his mind’s at work. “Fascinating.”

“Yep,”

Clark watches Thomas Wayne’s ghost give him the glare of the century behind his son’s back.

The skin of his jawline is entirely ripped off, peeled by Joe Chill’s gun, like the news article said. Sincerely, the Wayne glare scares Clark more.

“Fascinating.”
