 Delias aganippe data sheet
Delias aganippe has such a slow graceful gliding flight and the butterfly is readily visible in flight, but if disturbed can make off with great speed.
However, Delias aganippe has a more unusual wing shape and morphology than other Delias, and along with its distinct early stages and the fact that it can tolerate hot arid conditions, is suggestive of an isolated position within the group, and perhaps a closer Gondwanaland origin with the South American mistletoe eating Pierid species.
Males of Delias aganippe are usually seen hill topping on the most prominent hilltop in an area, where small groups can be seen slowly flying and gliding well above the tallest trees growing on the hilltop, where they wait for newly emerged females to arrive.
