Large White Pieris brassicae 10 Pupae

Large White Butterfly Pieris brassicae

No longer the common butterfly it once was. Pupae are stored cool for the winter and normally hatch in May. The larvae feed on cabbage but also most Cruciferae which can be better and less smelly for captive rearing! Horseradish is ideal for its large leaves and other species include Rape, Mustard, Sweet Rocket, Turnip and Watercress.
