Spring White
Pontia sisymbrii
a little moth?
Yesterday i saw a few tiny lepidoptera ( butterflies and moths)
the size of my fingernail.
Today i was accompanied for an hour, walking the sandy banks of Stony creek, by at least a dozen Spring Whites, a real butterfly, and 3x the size of the others.
3 to 4 cm wingspan.

the little moth looks like a "skipper Butterfly" not sure which one though
as a rule of thumb butterflies hold their wings up and moths fold them back along their thorax

if you click on the picture ( enlarging it) you can see that it has a feathery antenna. A clue that it is a moth. I am looking at geometers ( moths) but can't find a liking image yet though.
