Anyone know this butterfly?
Another huge one at the Butterfly world-they were often seen hovering for a long time in one spot!

I have visited several butterfly exhibits in the UK and photographed many species. These all bring back memories.
Identifying to an actual species is problematic partly because one never knows the provenance.
This one looks like a White (Family Pieridae) but is is in the same family as the Monarch (Danaidae).
It's an Idea species, several very similar species.

Quote – Holmes on ‘Entomology’
” I suppose you are an entomologist ? “
” Not quite so ambitious as that, sir. I should like to put my eyes on the individual entitled to that name.
No man can be truly called an entomologist,
sir; the subject is too vast for any single human intelligence to grasp.”

I think this one looks like a paper kite (idea leuconoe). The Paper Kite is of Southeast Asian origin.
