Lemon Emigrant
Catopsilia pomona pomona male f. hilaria
11.5799, 104.839
Field Notes
Description:
Wondering if this might be White Albatross? female, I guess, as it doesn't have the black spot on the forewing top? greenish yellow below, whiter on top, white legs, black antennae and black edging on the forewing top. About 3 - 4 inches across.
Habitat:
Perfectly camouflaged in the bougainvillea in the garden across from my place, I only saw this because I saw where it landed. They fly very fast, not fluttery like some butterflies, and rarely alight for long.
Notes:
Link says that female does not have the black dot like the male, so this could be a female. But this individual also is much more green than the photo in the link. Any help on this ID? Thanks!
