  1. Sorry, Belenois is a genus, it's not specific enough to identify the species. Excellent photo though! Posted 5 years ago

"Belenois aurota", the pioneer or pioneer white or caper white, is a small to medium-sized butterfly of the family Pieridae, that is, the yellows and whites, which is found in South Asia and Africa. In Africa, it is also known as the brown-veined white, and is well known during summer and autumn when large numbers migrate north-east over the interior.
