'The large white butterfly feeds on cabbages and cauliflowers, hence its Maltese name farfett tal-kaboċċi. The large white is a well-known migrant. It moves both north and south as well as laterally. It is difficult to follow its migration patterns because of the large distances it travels.
Both males and females have white wings with black tips on the forewings but the female has two black beauty spots which the male does not have.
In Malta it sometimes arrives in large numbers. It migrates in both spring and autumn; most large cabbage white migrations that have been recorded locally took place between September and November.'
