@SuziBond would you mind having a look at this one please. It’s possible it is a Pieris rapae (Cabbage White), but the full yellow hindwing, the predominantly white forewing with yellow tip, the lateral black edge along the forewing & the black spots placement just under the yellow tip also look like this could be a Common Albatross/Yellow Albatross (Appias paulina), male. Hoping you can help😊
