Striped Albatross (Appias libythea)

Appias libythea (striped albatross) is a medium-sized butterfly of the Pieridae family, found across South and Southeast Asia. Males are typically white with distinct black markings on the forewings, while females display broader dark patterns and sometimes yellowish tones. They are fast fliers, often seen in sunny open habitats such as gardens, fields, and forest edges. The larvae feed mainly on plants of the Capparaceae family, making this species an important part of the pollination and food web dynamics in its ecosystems.
