This is also another butterfly specimen I got from my teacher. It’s size is not very big, the wing span is about 6cm. The wing is orange in colour with black line running along it’s wing skeleton.

Hi Again Kit,
The Butterflies of Malaysia website only had a view of the undersides of the Orange Albatross, Appias nero, so we searched the scientific name and found the Wings in Motion website that indicates that the Orange Albatross is the only species of butterfly in the world that is all orange.
