It is one of the first butterflies to fly in <b>spring<\/b> and is still on the wing <b>well into autumn<\/b>. It is commoner than the green-veined white and is more often found in fields and agricultural areas than the <b>green-veined white<\/b>, although the two species do sometimes fly together in wetland areas. It is a common sight to see female small whites laying eggs on crucifers such as wild mustard. Like the larger <b>large white<\/b> it is very migratory and its numbers can increase at the end of spring due to the arrival of butterflies from North Africa, or at the beginning of autumn with butterflies arriving from Europe. It hibernates as a chrysalis.
