Description
A small white butterfly at a daisy-like rest stop, during its migration. I thought it was a moth at first, lightly fluttering around the asters; flowers that look like tiny daisies. When you see them this close, it�s amazing all the intricate detail in every part of their bodies! A cheerful interlude in the day. Perfect for any occasion,... or any day you want to have a reminder of a sunny day. --

Wikipedia: The small white (Pieris rapae) is a small- to medium-sized butterfly species of the whites-and-yellows family Pieridae. It is also known as the small cabbage white and in New Zealand, simply as white butterfly.[1] The names "cabbage butterfly" and "cabbage white" can also refer to the large white. The butterfly can be distinguished by the white color with small black dots on its wings. They are distinguished from the smaller size and lack of the black band at the tip of their forewings.

A different species of Symphyotrichum, S. ericoides, has the national name of White Heath Aster, but this species is also referred to by that common name in some places. Many species formerly classified in the Aster genus have been reclassified into Symphyotrichum and other genera within the Asteraceae family. This one was previously classified as Aster pilosus. Many of these small white aster species are difficult to tell apart.
