Butterfly

Physical Description of Adult Butterfly:
Above, the male is orange with apical two-thirds of the forewing black with a white and oblique band lying within. The termen of both forewing and hindwing is indented and lined with a broad and black marginal area containing a lace-like pattern of white markings. The female is mostly similar but with the orange background replaced with a pale yellowish to whitish coloration, and has its hindwing endowed with more discal and postdiscal black spots.
