Large White Butterfly Pieris brassicae
Egg batches vary in size but usually contain 20-30 eggs.
No longer the common butterfly it once was. Winter pupae are stored cool for the winter and normally hatch in May.
This is a good species for the inexperienced, and as an introduction to rearing larvae. Keep larvae protected from parasitic flies.
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, Nasturtium and Watercress.
There are two or more generations in a year.
