Orange-barred Giant Sulphur (LEP41) Phoebis
philea Like
its relatives, this big beauty flies rapidly but dallies at flowers or to lay
eggs on sennas. The upperside is rich
lemon-yellow, with a bright orange bar on the forewing. Any combination of mottled pink and
orange, with pearly spots in the middle of the hindwing, may be shown by the
variable underside. The female is
deep yellow with black marks on an orange band across the bottom of the
hindwing. |
