Cepora aspasia olga
The male Orange Gull, Cepora aspasia olga Eschscholtz 1821 (Pieridae; Pierinae). The ssp. C. a. olga occurs in the islands of the Luzon region, except in NW Luzon (ssp. anaitis) and in Polillo Island (fulcinea). The Visayas and Mindanao regions have their own ssps. Just like Appias, adults of Cepora may be seen congregating in large numbers on moist sand or muddy areas adjacent to streams, drinking fluid.
