Hello friends in TL.

I'm back to shooting butterflies after a mass migration of many species around my backyard after the rain. This is my first post of Mottled Emigrant which is rather rare to me.

The Mottled Emigrant is the rarest of the three Catopsilia species in Malaysia. Whilst the other two species, the Orange Emigrant (Catopsilia scylla cornelia) and the Lemon Emigrant (Catopsilia pomona pomona) are essentially urban butterflies, the Mottled Emigrant is more often found in the fringes of the nature reserves where its host plant, Seven Golden Candlesticks (Cassia alata) is found. However, where Cassia alata is cultivated, it is likely that the butterfly will make its appearance.

The wings of the Mottled Emigrant are greenish white above and the forewing has a black apical border and a black cell-end spot. The underside is of a darker greenish hue and there are numerous reddish brown transverse stripes which give the species a 'mottled' look, hence its common name.

Regards.

hi Jusni

Young and fresh butterfly, lovely colors. Sharp at 200mmFL. I like the strong green of insect and plants. Good work.

tfs, bill

Beautiful butterfly shot - superb colours (I can't remember seeing blues like this on a butterfly before) and great sharp details. Normally I'm not a fan of text in a picture but I think the title goes really well with the frame.
Thanks for sharing
Mark

Assalamualaikum,

Assalamualaikum Jusni.
A nice composition, capturing the green butterfly with greenery surroundings.

And, what I (and friends here in KK) adore much about your posting is your very much informative notes, excellently done with details of scientific name of your subjects. You must have done a lot of homework, and that we liked very much. Very good work, Jusni.

Salam hormat,
Ramdan.

hello Jusni,
You are so fortunate to have the nature gallery arrive in your garden. The colour of the wings here are just beautiful as well as translucent.
Great compo and lighting as well.
Joni
