Appias lyncida andrea ♂
Pieridae; Pierinae; Appias lyncida andrea Eschscholtz, 1821. The pictures shown in the Pierinae section of Philippine Lepidoptera, leave no room for error. This is Appias lyncida andrea, the Chocolate Albatross and it is a male specimen.
This butterfly was spotted in a rice field which was left uncultivated this season to allow the land to rest. When we do this, an amazing variety of grasses and foliage springs up very quickly and creates what I like to call a tropical meadow.
