Small White

[Pieris rapae (Linne)]
Papilio rapae Linne, 1758: 468 (Europe).
This ubiquitous pest species occurs everywhere in the northern temperate zone but probably has not yet become established in tropical Africa. The following record is interesting in that the nearest habitat of rapae is northern Africa. It is not clear whether these specimens were captured while migrating or whether they hitchhiked on the ship. In any event, it is not properly a Liberian resident.
