Common Jezebel on Zinnia!

Common Jezebel is the only Indian variety, which belongs to the species Delias. It frequently visits riverbeds and moist places during summer. Conspicuous bright color on the underside of the wings is its identity. The butterfly is fond of flowers of lantana, chestnut, mango, mustard and land caltrops.
