Just seen a white butterfly with 2 black spots on each wing and black markings on the bottom edge of its wings. Any ideas please? Never seen one before

Whereabouts are you? If it's a Large White, and sounds as if it is, it's extraordinary you've not seen one before.

I was surprised to find the FEMALE Orange Tip butterfly (becoming rare I believe) looks like one of the 'cabbage whites' I feel guilty at the thought i may have helped towards its decline :-(.
So please check carefully before swatting what we think is a pest ?
