Picture[edit]

I dont think the picture illustrates the Green-veined White. It might be a Large White instead. On the danish wikipedia we have a nice picture of the green-veined white: Grønåret kålsommerfugl

Potential areas for further expansion[edit]

As a component of my course about Behavioral Ecology, I identified a few areas in which details could potentially be added to strengthen this article. Unsurprisingly, these areas all relate to animal and insect behavior and include parental investment in offspring and childrearing, cooperative and altruistic behavior, as well as inter-species interaction including predator/prey relationships. Additionally, I think it would be helpful to incorporate more information on how this butterfly interacts with its environment other than a singular discussion on food plants. As well, the article could benefit in its readability with some editing on grammar and syntax. --ClaudiaEE 2:35, 15 Sep 2017 (UTC)

Taxobox usage[edit]

I have removed some of the entries from the taxobox after having read the guidance in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life/taxobox usage article. Too much removed? Not enough? --AjAldous 20:38, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Overview[edit]

I would recommend adding more information to the intro paragraph so as to give an overview of the species and provide some engaging facts about the butterfly. The behavior section would also benefit from elaboration on the other behaviors of the species, besides sexual behavior. I would also suggest separating out the host plant subsection as its own section so the information is conveyed more clearly. Mllutz (talk) 01:28, 15 September 2017 (UTC)--Mllutz[reply]

Sexual cooperation and conflict[edit]

This subsection was especially confusing to read through- several sentences can be rewritten to better convey the author's point. Also, do female refractory periods increase as they age because they're not able to clear out the infertile sperm in their sperm storage organ? Or is it actually age related? This part was unclear. liu.emily (talk) 03:28, 15 September 2017 (UTC)--liu.emily[reply]
