mellielong said:Cecilia, I think you might have a Great Southern White there. I Googled to see if they are in Argentina, and oddly enough, that's the first thing Wikipedia talks about. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... It says they're known there is "pirpinto". Does that translate to something interesting? I'm still digging "Espejito".

Back in a bit with pictures...

Thank you Mellie ! And you are right. That was the butterfly that I saw in my garden. Actually there were two. And another one came later !
I don't know the meaning of the word "pirpinto" It seems that it is only used to call that butterfly. I don't know where it comes from. I have searched in some dictionaries and it is only referred to the butterfly.
