 (Butterfly,
Cabbage White - 01) This is a female cabbage white butterfly identifiable by its twin
dots on each wing. The male has only one dot. The fully extended wing span is
about two inches across, plus or minus a quarter inch. |
 (Butterfly,
Cabbage White - 02) The host plants for the cabbage white butterfly to lay her eggs and
for the caterpillars to mature are members of the mustard (Brassicaceae) family, or
occasionally members of the caper (Capparidaceae) family. The eggs are laid on the
underside of the leaves. |
 (Butterfly,
Cabbage White - 03) This female cabbage white butterfly is feeding on a wild aster, one
of many flowers that the adults feed on, which also include the host mustards, as well as
dandelions, red clover and mint. In this photo, we can see a greenish tint on the
underside of the wings, which may range in color from yellow-green to gray-green. |

We can see her compound left eye, the projections from her head, her curled mouth, the hairs on her body, and the scales on her wings. We need to cherish every one of God's creatures, and protect them from harm. |

Presented here are just a few of the countless components of God's creation. Just as we cannot have human and animal life without water and plants, neither can we have lasting peace without love and compassion. It is our hope and prayer that this series will motivate people to live and act in a cruelty-free manner; that we would no longer hurt or destroy each other, the animals or our environment.
