Green-veined White (Pieris napi)

I hope I identified this butterfly correctly (see more pictures)

My husband found this freshly hatched butterfly on the bucket of our sink water of the caravan. It is just beautiful…. I just hope it will not lay her eggs on my garlic.

Small creatures from the summer garden #9: Ladybug coming out of its pupa (Coccinellidae)

A lucky shot of a Ladybug who just came out of its pupa and a few more pictures of Ladybugs

I just love that we have so many Ladybugs in our garden. Beside the common type of Ladybug I even found a black Ladybug with white spots. We did not have any problems with aphids in our garden last summer.
