Males have bright orange upper wings with black margins, while females tend to be paler with a yellowish hue and more muted markings. The wingspan ranges between 50-60 mm. This butterfly is primarily found in eastern Africa, including countries like Kenya, Tanzania, and Mozambique, inhabiting forests and savannahs.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe name \"Appias\" is derived from a water nymph in Roman mythology, while \"zarinda\" does not have a widely known etymological background but could be a reference to a place or person linked to its discovery.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA fascinating curiosity about Appias zarinda is its strong, fast flight, which makes it difficult to catch. Its bright orange color serves both as camouflage among flowers and as a warning signal to potential predators, hinting at chemical defenses in its body. This butterfly is often seen during the wet season.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe firmly support the sustainable tropical butterfly collections as long as they take care of conserving the rainforest where they fly and developing responsible conscious trading.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis allows us to support local ranching farms with ethically sourced material and help at the same time collectors and enthusiasts to contribute to understanding and treasuring those species.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePlease consider that the specimen you will receive may slightly differ in size, shape or colour from the picture shown as you are purchasing a natural product.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePlease note: In our selection of white frames, the inner box frame—the part that creates the depth of the shadow box—is currently only available in black, as white versions are not available at this time.
