Hallo Pavol,
Nr. 1 is Euchloe ausonia not Anthocharis cardamines. Nr. 2-5 the determination of Uwe is correct.
Best wishes

Hello Uwe, Klaus-Bernhard,

thanks a lot for that. I was just wondering if it can be P.balcana instead of P.napi.

Sincerely,
Pavol

Hello Palo,

Your P. napi could not be P. balcana. Patterns on the under side of hindwings are very sharp by Pieris balcana, you can differ the boarders. Pieris napi has them more blurred and boarders are not so clear. Just visit www.pieris.ch, where are also some photos.


Best regards from SLovakia,
