@MichaelMulvaney, that’s ok. Looks like the Verified ID has gone now, so the Suggestion will show up in the Unidentified listing again for someone to ID it😊

The wings are very faded, but it looks like it could be one of the Grass Blues or Lined Blues (I’ll leave it to those in the know to sort out for you). This one definitely isn’t Pieris rapae but I’m also not sure what to suggest it as for you😊 @SuziBond or @MichaelMulvaney might be able to help🤞

@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😊
