Its style of flight is also different. The Tree Yellow is found in forests and is often seen drinking from the ground.


Lemon Emigrant, Catopsilia pomona pomona. This common butterfly can be found in urban areas feeding on bouganvillea and ixora blooms. It has a very rapid and robust flight and is prominent in flight with its beautifully bright greenish-lemon yellow wings.
