Hmm, the most common ones and I need quite some time to check Brassicae and Canidia. Looking at the black margins, I think this one is Canidia not Brassicae (that one would not have black margins on the hindwing). Please, check yourself. What do you think? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pieris_brassicae
