Green-striped white - Euchloe belemia

Underside.

Family: Pieridae.

Flight Time: Feb - June.

Size: 36-44mm

Altitude: 0-1350m

 
Notes:

My sightings of these have been in the Algarve and near the coast in the province of Malaga in S. Spain. First sight implies a Dappled white or possibly Bath white, Pontia daplidice but on settling the characteristic underside becomes apparent.
