The Banded Puffin, Appias pandione lagela (Moore)

Essentially confined to the hills but may sometimes be encountered on lower mid-elevation and even seepages in the foothills of lowland dipterocarp forests. They are usually single or low in numbers and are locally common.

This is a crossover from the mountains during the active seasons of March-May and was found puddling with a large mass of other Appias and Graphiums. This is not a common occurence and is my first record of the species in the lowland. Above 2 photos from 01 May 2013 @ 12:01.
