$Description: The larvae of the Brimstone feeds on the leaves of Buckthorn and Alder Buckthorn. The egg is approximately 2.5mm tall and is skittle shaped as are all eggs laid by Butterflies of the Pieridae family. They can be found on fresh leaf growth on the larval food plant during the spring and are easy to find.\n\nThe caterpillars feed singularly on the food plant and are easily found lying along the mid-rib of the upperside of a leaf. It is remarkably well camouflaged being the same green as the leaves of its food plant.\n\nThe chrysalis is attached by the tail to a stick or branch of the foodplant by silk and a silken thread as a support girdle. The pupal stage lasts around 14 days. The Chrysalis changes colour when the butterfly is about to emerge.\n\nWarm sunny days in early March brings the Brimstone out from hibernation but since it is such a long-lived species butterflies may be seen throughout the year even though there is only one brood per year. The bright rich yellow of the male Brimstone butterfly cannot be confused with any other butterfly. The female however is a very pale yellow almost white in colour and can be confused at a distance for a Large White. The distinctive shape of the Brimstone and the intricate veining of the wings make it a remarkably beautiful and graceful butterfly.\n\nThe Brimstone is also one of the longest living of Butterflies and is the only species outside the Nymphalidae family to hibernate as an adult butterfly.\n\nHabitat: The Brimstone is usually found in open areas such as grasslands, woodland rides, gardens and waste places, usually in areas adjacent to woodland, scrub and hedgerows where the larval food plant (Buckthorn sp.) occurs. It is often seen visiting suburban gardens in spring and late summer.\n\n\nDistribution: Common Species throughout Europe.$
