Catopsilia pyranthe (Latreille, 1758)
A powerful, restless and very determined flyer that is able to take large distances, the butterfly can also be found peacefully sucking nectar from blossoms in any kind of open space in India, even in the parks of the city of New Delhi - in the few tiny greens of densely populated quarters as well as in a spacious and very tidy park like the one the picture was taken:
Raj Ghat, New Delhi, 24 October, 2006.
