Field Notes
Description:
Common brimstone is yellowish butterfly, of some 5 - 5,5 cm in wingspan) from the Pieridae family. Male is more intensively yellow (Ph 1 and 4); while the female would be more greenish (I believe the female was caught on Ph 3).
Habitat:
Common butterfly through most of Eurasia and North Africa; and seen in diverse habitats, each adapted for a specific cycle of its life. Here, observed on edges of Bagasse forest and along rather large pathway through the forest. The forest itself is deciduous, predominantly oak, forest; and is located on France-Switzerland border, in sub-alpine region, in a valley of lake Geneva, just in between Jura and Alps mountains ranges.
