Hi Judy:
Your Cabbage Whites may be indeed  that but Mustard White are more likely. =
The Cuckoo Flower is part of the mustard family & populations of Mustard Wh=
ites dine mainly on the flowers. From a distance Mustard Whites are difficu=
lt to distinguish from Cabbage Whites. It's peculiar to me that Mustard Whi=
tes are flying well before the Cuckoo Flower is in bloom!!
