Catopsilia scylla orange migrant or orange emigrant , is a species of butterfly that lives in South East Asia and Australasia . Its larvae feed predominantly on plants of the genera Cassia Senna
Description
[ edit ]
Adults are approximately 60–65 millimetres (2.4–2.6 in ) long. The males have white forewings edged in black, and cadmium-yellow hindwings, usually with black spots on the margins. Females are similar, but have an additional group of black spots on the forewing, which often merge to form a dark ring.[1]
Distribution
[ edit ]
Catopsilia scylla has a wide distribution in South East Asia and Australasia . Its range stretches from Myanmar , Cambodia , Philippines , Thailand , and Vietnam , along the Malay Peninsula , across Java and Sumatra , and over northern Australia . It was recently discovered in Sri Lanka .[1]
Host plants
[ edit ]
In Australia , C. scylla has been recorded on various species of Senna S. didymobotrya S. leptoclada S. surattensis [2] In Singapore , host plants include Senna obtusifolia Cassia fistula Senna pallida [3]
The eggs are milky white and spindle shaped, and are usually laid singly on a leaf of the host plant. The eggs hatch after 1.5–2 days, and the caterpillars grow through five instars over 11–13 days, to reach a final length of 40 millimetres (1.6 in ). The caterpillars are green and smooth, with a rounded head, and develops a series of black dots and a white lateral line on top of the plain green ground colour. Pupae are 26 mm (1.0 in ) long, and are attached to the host plant in an upright position. After seven days, the adult emerges.[3]

Taxonomy
[ edit ]
Catopsilia scylla was first described by Carl Linnaeus , as Papilio scylla , in his 1763 work Centuria Insectorum [4]
The subspecies C. s. etesia (originally described as Catopsilia etesia ) is known in Australia as the orange migrant.[5] [1] C. s. praerubida , C. s. sidra , C. s. cornelia , C. s. asema , C. s. bangkeiana and C. s. moluccarum .[6]
