My notes...

• Habitat: nearly everywhere except deep woods
• Eggs:White, laid singly on mustard, radish, broccoli, cabbage, turnip and cauliflower
• Flight: Slow and awkward
• Winter: Fly earlier and later than most others

Most widespread in our area and here March-October

Introduced in Canada and migrated to US. They are a garden pest.
