Leptidea Sinapis
''Leptidea sinapis,'' or the wood white butterfly of the family Pieridae, is a small white butterfly that is mainly found in England, Ireland, and Northern Europe. The butterfly has white wings with grey or yellow markings near the center or tip of the wing. It flies slowly and low over its shrubbery habitat. Males initiate courtship with females and can mate multiply, while females tend to only mate once in their lifetime. The wood white was added to the UK BAP Priority Species list in 2005 due to a substantial decline in the population, especially in England. This decline has been attributed to changes in woodland regions, including increased shade due to tree planting, and the failure to maintain woodland rides in a satisfactory way for wood whites to oviposit. Conservation efforts are currently striving to understand how to best maintain woodland regions and are examining the effect of climate change (particularly during the winter months) on egg survival. Taxonomy There ...

Leptidea Morsei
''Leptidea morsei'' (Fenton's wood white) is a butterfly of the family Pieridae. It is found from central Europe to Siberia, Ussuri, Korea, northern China and Japan. The habitat consists of damp, grassy vegetation at the sunny edges of woods, in grassy woodland clearings and on regenerating woodland on grassland. They occur almost exclusively in oak forest and mixed deciduous woods. The wingspan is 46–54 mm. Adults are on wing from April to May and again from June to July in two generations per year. The larvae feed on legumes, including ''Lathyrus niger'', ''Lathyrus hallersteinii'' and ''Lathyrus vernus'' in Europe. Other recorded food plants include ''Vicia cracca'', ''Vicia japonica'' and ''Vicia amoena ''Vicia'' is a genus of over 240 species of flowering plants that are part of the legume family (biology), family (Fabaceae), and which are commonly known as vetches. Member species are native to Europe, North America, South America, Asia and A ...''. Hibernation t ...

Leptidea Reali
''Leptidea reali'', the Réal's wood white, is a butterfly of the family Pieridae. Appearance, behaviour and distribution Réal's wood white has been found in many western Europe countries but has not been found in Britain. In Ireland, where it was only positively identified in 2001, it is more common and far more widespread than the wood white (''L. sinapis''). Since it looks and behaves like its close relative further research is needed to discover its true distribution, indeed on the continent its current known distribution is suspiciously patchy. The only conclusive way to separate the two species is by close examination of the genitalia. A 2011 study concludes that ''L. reali'' is one of three members of a cryptic species complex which comprises ''L. sinapis'' and a new species ''L. juvernica''. This study was based on karyotype analysis and analysis of mitochondrial nuclear DNA markers. ''L. reali'' was found to occur only in Spain, Italy and southern France. ''L. juve ...
