Habitat & Habits
All the Tagiades species are sun-loving butterflies and fly so rapidly that only the whitened area of the hindwings are seen, giving the illusion of a smaller white butterfly in flight. This photograph shows the characteristic flat open-winged posture which is usual amongst the Tagiades species.
