Last-update 2013. 7. 17.</ref> They have a wingspan(the distance from the end of one wing to the end of the other wing)of 58mm~65mm. The male butterflies have black tips on the off-white forewing(the anterior pair of an insect's two pairs of wings), and the female butterflies have two black dots on the forewing. Also, both sexes have off-white hindwings(the posterior pair of an insect's two pairs of wings). However, there is no pattern on the hindwing.<ref name=Taina> Taina[http://webspace.webring.com/people/vt/taina/pierisbrassicae.html] ''Butterfly Gardening''. Web.

camouflaging. The black pattern is more dark when they are breeding season.<ref name=Paras>Bhalla, Paras . | |||
