 Great spot today, seeing this Marbled White butterfly on the dry Meadow. There are several of them and they are a spectacular butterfly. It is only in recent years that they have appeared in our part of the country, before that they were largely restricted to the South West but are obviously now expanding. The caterpillar feeds on grasses and hibernates through the winter. The adults only fly for a relatively short period from the end of June to mid-July which is where we are now so if you want to see one then please do not leave it too late.
