Perrhybris pyrrha (Cramer 1775)

**30.11.11 -Thanks to Ivan (argus) for confirmation; This is a subspecies of the same butterflies in my previous photo! :)


Hello TN friends!

This is really a rarity in my garden!

Never before had I seen this butterfly.

She just appeared and I was lucky enough to get my camera and take some photos!

Obviously, I have no idea of ​​the ID of this beautiful butterfly!

Regards!

Jesús


Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Insecta
Order: Lepidoptera
Suborder: Ditrysia
Superfamily: Papilionoidea
Family: Pieridae - Duponchel, 1835
Genus: Perrhybris
Specific name: pyrrha

General: The Pieridae are a large family of butterflies with about 76 genera containing approximately 1,100 species, mostly from tropical Africa and Asia. Most pierid butterflies are white, yellow or orange in coloration, often with black spots. The pigments that give the distinct colouring to these butterflies are derived from waste products in the body and are a characteristic of this family.

It is believed that the name "butterfly" originated from a member of this family — the Brimstone Gonepteryx rhamni — which was called the "butter-coloured fly" by early British naturalists.

The sexes usually differ, often in the pattern or number of the black markings.

The larvae (caterpillars) of a few of these species, such as Pieris brassicae and Pieris rapae, commonly seen in gardens, feed on brassicas, and are notorious agricultural pests.

Males of many species exhibit gregarious mud-puddling behavior when they may imbibe salts from moist soils

Identification: The Pieridae have the radial vein on the forewing with 3 or 4 branches and rarely with 5 branches. The fore legs are well developed in both sexes, unlike in the Nymphalidae, and the tarsal claws are bifid unlike in the Papilionidae.

Like the Papilionidae, Pieridae also have their pupae held at an angle by a silk girdle, but running at the first abdominal segment unlike the thoracic girdle seen in the Papilionidae.

Subfamilies: The Pieridae are generally divided into the following four subfamilies:

* Dismorphiinae (6 genera) Mostly Neotropical, this group includes several mimetical species. The host plants are in the family Fabaceae.

* Pierinae (55 genera) Whites, Yellow, Orange-tips, many of these species are strongly migratory. Host plants are in the families Capparidaceae, Brassicaceae, Santalaceae, and Loranthaceae.

* Coliadinae (14 genera) Sulphurs or Yellows, many of these species are sexually dimorphic. Some, such as Colias, have wing patterns that are visible only under ultraviolet.

* Pseudopontiinae The sole species in this subfamily, Pseudopontia paradoxa, is endemic to West Africa.

According to the molecular phylogenetic study of Braby et al. (2006), sister group relationships among Pieridae subfamilies are: ((Dismorphiinae+Pseudopontiinae)+ Coliadinae+Pierinae)).

Hello Jesús,
A very fine capture of this beautiful ssp of Perhybris pyrra.
The sharpness, natural colours and DOF are up to your usual high standard, with the neutral BG and composition adding to the attraction of this image.
I don't know how many, but there are several subspecies of this Pierid in S. and C. America. This one seems to be one of the more colourful...
Thanks and best regards,
Ivan

Olá Jesus,
Bela foto com cores atraentes e nitidez e composição muito boa, belo trabalho de macro,um PV ótimo, meus parabéns por esta bela foto.
Nilson

Saludos de nuevo Jesús.
El motivo de mis recientes ausencias es el trabajo principalmente, aunque algo tb la saturación de foto.
Estoy empezando con aves en otra web. Lo demás casi todo al 100%. Salud y alimentación bien, lo demás, añadido, es secundario.

Preciosa tu toma. En estos tamaños muchas veces no se aprecia la calidad real de los trabajos y en ocasiones no se aprecian diferencias con cámaras y lentes de menor nivel (tb influye la vista de los cincuentones :o).

Abrazo: J. Ignasi.

Hello Jesus,
You butterflies have really amazing shapes and colors. Most beautiful yellows, browns and orange, I'm just a little bit jealous, especially because they are just in your garden!!
As usual very neat shot with simple and pleasant composition.
Merci Jesus!
