Lemon Migrant

Lemon Migrant (Catopsilia pomona, 迁粉蝶).

These pierid butterflies were scattered about through various parts of the Xiamen Botanical Gardens. They are found throughout India, southern China, and throughout south-east Asia down to Australia. As seasonal migrants, they navigate in groups up and down the rivers, to avoid cold weather.
