Korean White Butterfly (Korean White Butterfly) - Korean White Butterfly (English name) bath white
This insect belongs to the family Pieridae of the order Lepidoptera. It is a relatively small butterfly, with a wingspan of about 4.5 cm. Females have many black markings on the surface of their hind wings, but males do not. It is widely distributed from the Mediterranean coast to the Middle East, India, China, Siberia, etc., and has long been known as a vagrant butterfly in England. Before the war, it was recorded mainly in western Japan, but in 1979 it caused a large outbreak in Hokkaido, and since then, many records have been found in the river basins of Hokkaido that flow into the Sea of ​​Japan. It is believed that the records in western Japan came from the Korean Peninsula, and the recent records in Hokkaido came from the Russian Far East.
