Very nicely captured Kishore. This is an occasional visitor to Melbourne. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/784... Ours is called a caper white too and is a sister species. They look very alike. They were recently called Aaphaeis but have had a name change to Belenois. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belenois_au...
