Pests At Rest

I photographed this Cabbage White Butterfly taking a break on the leaf of a garlic mustard plant.  Both the butterfly and plant are invasive species, arriving in the United States in the 1860s.  Sadly, I have heard that the garlic mustard plant does not taste like the wonderful combination that its name implies.
