특징  


날개: 앞날개와 뒷날개 모두 갈색 바탕에 주황색 띠가 둘러져 있으며, 뒷날개 가장자리에 작은 검은 점들이 있습니다. 수컷은 날개에 보랏빛 광택이 나타나며 암컷은 상대적으로 갈색이 진합니다.

Delias eucharis

Delias eucharis


DescriptionEnglish: The Common Jezebel (Delias eucharis) is a medium sized pierid butterfly found in many areas of South and Southeast Asia, especially in the non-arid regions of India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Thailand. The Common Jezebel is one of the most common species in the genus Delias.
The butterfly may be found wherever there are trees, even in towns and cities, flies high among the trees and comes lower down only to feed on nectar in flowers. It rests with its wings closed exhibiting the brilliantly coloured underside. Due to this habit apparently, it has evolved a dull upper-side and a brilliant underside so that birds below it recognise it immediately while in flight and at rest. The bright coloration is to indicate the fact that it is due to toxins accumulated by the larvae from the host-plants.
Taken at Kadavoor, Kerala, India.
