Painted Jebezel (Delias hyperate hierte ) ♀ | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
The genus Delias is one of the typical Pierinae group in south-east Asian territories. The most attractive feature
of the genus is fascinating and complicated color pattern in underside
of the wing. So some collectors especially like this group. The host plant of this group is misletoe(genus Viscum) and the j-bezel is seemed to be the most wide-ranged species in this group. This flies as floating paper just like as Danaidae group and they generally fly over higher point around the forest. Thus the shutter-chance is limited only when they gather around the flowers. The color pattern of male and female is different and female has characteristic red patch of underside of hide wing, by which we can distinguish from male. [Distribution] India, Taiwan to Jawa through Hong Kong
