Striped Albatross

female
male

Actually I consider the Striped Albatross to be one of the prettiest pierids in Singapore. It isn't showy, but it possesses a simple, subtle beauty, especially the delicately yellow-dusted female. This is another very common butterfly; white butterflies seen along roadsides and in gardens are almost invariably this species. Coat Buttons are among its preferred flowers.
