The Cabbage White (Pieris rapae) is likely our most common New Jersey butterfly and can be seen all the way from January through December pretty much any time you walk outside!! They are mostly white with some subtle black dusting, black wingtips, and some individuals having yellow tones on the ventral side hindwing and forewing edge. Females have 2 black dots on the forewing, and males have 1. These butterflies will feed on so many different flowers and can be seen in meadows, gardens, woods and almost any habitat.
