Adorning the forest clearings, the great orange-tip is a vibrant lepidopteran known for its distinctive wing pattern which is characterized by stark contrasts. The upper wing surfaces exhibit brilliant white marked with deep orange tips, while the undersides possess a cryptic mottled greyish hue, providing camouflage among foliage. Its dietary habits evolve from a juvenile dependency on plants from the Capparaceae family to an adult preference for nectar, seeking sustenance from a variety of flowering species.
