Ommon Gull Butterfly - Cepora Nerissa - Animal India

The Common Gull (Cepora nerissa) is a small to medium-sized butterfly of the family Pieridae, known for its yellow and white coloration. It is native to Sri Lanka, India, China, Southeast Asia, and Indonesia. The butterfly has a strong flight close to the ground, with a wingspan ranging from 40-65 mm. After a long flight, it rests on an exposed leaf or bush. They feed on flowers of Tridax procumbens, Sida rhombifolia, Alternanthera, and Lantana. A Common Gull butterfly, almost camouflaged, is seen drinking nutrients through its proboscis from moist mud and rotting neem (Azadirachta indica) leaves on colorful plastic bags while mud-puddling in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on August 28, 2024 (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
