Hello
I found this beautiful butterfly resting on a cyclamen flower in a forest near Jerusalem.
Can you please help identify it?
Thank you.

Hi Gal,
Your butterfly is one of the Whites in the family Pieridae. We located an Israeli Insect World website and we believe your butterfly is one of the members of the genus Euchloe, possibly Euchloe ausonia melisande or Euchloe aegyptiaca based on photos posted to the site.
