@butterflywanderer submitted: Found them in Bourgogne-Franche Comté in France

Spotted them only because their green was way paler than the leaves' green

What a beautiful pair of leafs! They're common brimstones and appear to be in the process of making more common brimstones :)

Hi! Can you do Gonepteryx rhamni? Its english name is apparently Common Brimstone but if that's not super commonly known, I think it'd be really cool/funny to translate its german name instead (which would result in Lemon Folder) if that's acceptable. It's found in Europe, Asia and Northern Africa. Here's a pic, licence is with attribution:
