Abstract

Williams (1936a,b) classified Pieris brassicae as a Class III immigrant, that is it breeds in this country and its numbers are reinforced each year. This is in contrast to those species which never breed in Britain (Class I) and those which occasionally breed in the summer (Class II). Williams et al. (1942) believed that the three pierid species, P. brassicae, Pieris rapae and Pieris napi, were usually and significantly found abundant together on migration. He referred to these three species as “hardy annuals” (Williams, 1935a). Caution must be excercised when considering migration patterns in P. brassicae as Williams et al. (1942) pointed out that it tends to be reported only in years of absence or special abundance. In some years there is a real abundance of all three species, in other years there is a paucity of all three (cf. Chapter 3 on abundance). It has often been said that P. brassicae would not be as common in the British Isles if it were not for the reinforcements from the continent which occur each year (Williams 1935a,b, 1936a,b; Williams et al., 1942; Ford, 1976). Recently Parker (1978) stated that the migratory behaviour of P. brassicae can be interpreted in the light of whichever prospect (higher fecundity or faster development offers the highest pay off at any time in the season.

‘Flying Crooked’

The butterfly, cabbage-white,

(His honest idiocy of flight)

Will never now, it is too late,

Master the art of flying straight,

Yet has-who knows so well as I?-

A just sense of how not to fly:

He lurches here and here by guess

And God and hope and hopelessness.

Even the aerobatic swift

Has not his flying-crooked gift.
