 The
Chocolate Albatross is a common butterfly in Malaysia, but over here in
Singapore, is a seasonal visitor. It is rarely seen and was believed to
be extinct here. However, single specimens do turn up once in a while in
the nature reserves. These individuals are believed to have migrated from
the north.
The males are white above with
a dentate black border. The hindwing beneath is a rich lemon-yellow with
a dark brown border. In Malaysia, the males may be found congregated at
roadside seepages together with many Pieridae and Papilionidae species.
