乐生活Phoebis philea spread from the south to Florida in the 1920s. It is widely distributed in southern Brazil, Central America and South Florida in the United States. It is often found in parks and gardens, as far north as New York. The larvae are yellow-green with transverse wrinkles and black-brown bands on both sides. They feed on plants of the genus Lentinus. The male butterfly has a broad orange strip on its front wing, which gives it its English common name (Orange-barred giant sulphur). Female butterflies have yellow or white front and rear wings with brown or black spots. The orange-red and purple hues on the ventral surface vary. This butterfly is also known as the Yellow apricot butterfly.
