It's a migratory species which has come over by the million from North Africa, so there are far more then normal.

An appropriate name and the wing underside would make lovely dress fabric!
Beautiful shot!

All we have on our Buddleia this year are a couple of Cabbage Whites!

I too have them on my plants and they love to sunbath on our path.

And here's another on my Buddleia.
