Belenois gidica
The African Veined White is a commonly encountered butterfly species occurring in the savanna-bushveld habitats stretching from the Eastern Cape through Kwazulu-Natal to the Lowveld and Limpopo Valley in the north of the country. Adults are on the wing throughout the year and have a wingspan of around 5cm. The widespread wild caper bush (Capparis sepiaria) is an important food plant for the larvae of these butterflies.

Ons het hul koolwitjies genoem omdat hul meestal lentetyd uitbroei as kool naastenby klaar geoes is. Ek wonder of eiertjies dalk op kool gelê word. Dis ek nou wonder.
Daar is nogal baie lede in hierdie skoenlapperfamilie, Ineke, en die regte koolwitjie is een wat baie soos hierdie outjie lyk maar tog n paar klein verskille het. Ek dink nogtans sal daar baie ooreenkomste in hul gedrag wees.
