Rhabdodryas trite
Photo take at home late afternoon standing on a wall just like ready to spend night time there. About 7 cm wingspan .Upper surface of male wings two-toned; inner half lemon yellow, outer half paler yellow. Basal yellow scales occupying the entire discal cell. Female lemon yellow with narrow black borders at apex, black cell spot. Small black spots at vein ends on the ventral hindwing. Both sexes have a subtle, diffused pinkish spot at the immediate base of the ventral hindwing.
Tropical scrub, gardens, fields, forest edges.
Indeed i was confuse whit the brown stripe thanks for the correction :)
Similar to Aphrissa sp., but it is Rhabdodryas trite, which is commonly found with Aphrissa sp. in mudding groups. Usually not with the wings like in your shot but with a single and "full line" visible through the whole butterfly.
