''I caught a common butterfly! I've seen a lot of these around lately!- Animal Crossing'' ''I caught a common butterfly! It's so white and pure!- Animal Crossing: Wild World'' The white butterfly is a common butterfly that is similar to the yellow butterfly in all but colour. They are the same size and shape, and appear at the same time of year. They fly slowly around flowers.

Upon Donation in City Folk
When donated to the museum in City Folk, Blathers the curator will speak about the common butterfly;

"If one were to look closely at the common butterfly, one might notice that it's covered in fine hairs... But WHY would one look closely?! Blecccch! Creepiness aside, one also gets itchy powder on one's hand by touching them... Not for me, eh wot?"

After donation, the common butterfly flies around the flower beds in the lower terrace of the insect room.

Further Information
The Large White, Pieris brassicae, also known as the Cabbage White, is a common species of butterfly that can be found throughout Europe, Northern Africa and Asia. They are a creamy white and feature two black spots on each wing which darken during the summer months. Cabbage Whites, as the name suggests, have a prefence for cabbages and brussel sprouts, and so therefore are considered a pest. It has a wingspan of roughly 5 to 6 centimetres and are from the same family as the Eurema genus, which also feature in-game as the yellow butterfly.
