Common Blue



Small White (hopefully)
My butterfly identifying skills are not the best.

    The Common Blue is magnificent
    not sure about Small White
    Possibly Green veined White

    Hi Professor.

    Looks like the jury is out on the second image....I confess I am hopeless with butterflies and moths and I am not the greatest with birds either.

    I think there are too many black markings along the wing edge for it to be a small white, which I thought only had blackish tips and a couple of spots
    I too am no expert and it is better to tell from the underside whether my suggestion is right
    As for not being the greatest with birds I usually find several glasses of wine and sweet talk works lol!

    I thought it was a Green-veined White as you can see the veins on the lower wing

    Thanks for the comment jowan.
    Both you and the Professor think it is a Green-veined White and I think you are both probably right.
