8 tropical piridae butterflies under glass
IN281
A tropical coktail in shades of yellow: Ixias pyrene, with slightly orange stains, an Asian butterfly present in southern India and further east. These come from Thailand. Belenois gidica, from the Pieridae family, pale yellow with black borders. These come from Tanzania, and were probably caught during the rainy season because the underside of the wings is rather yellow. And finally those who have more black spots: Pinacopteryx eriphia, in English "the white zebra", another Pieride who comes this time from Tanzania.
