Sorry for
a delay in updating the blog, but due to the holidays of my city and the studies it has been impossible to create before the new entry. This beautiful white butterfly is the caterpillar adult glifodes jasmine. Glifodes
The name derives from a generic synonymy: Glyphodes unionalis was an ancient name of the species. The Jasmine is derived from the genus Jasminum part of their food plants, like any other Oleacea.
