    1. I'm not a butterfly experts. I can't explain the reason why Appias olferna ssp olferna is used instead of Appias libythea ssp olferna. Once, the Singaporean experts has given me an explanation but unfortunately hahahaha I'm already too old to remember his explanation, n moreover I just love macro photography n need the name for the title of my posted photos. Let the experts may correct it if it's wrong. Thanks Christine!! Posted 2 years ago
