Common Brimstone

"Butterflies are self propelled flowers." -R.H. Heinlein


The Common Brimstone with it's delicate wings and distinctive lemon-yellow hue marks the spring's arrival. Both male and female exhibit this striking colour although the female's wings may feature a faint hint of green.

The lifecycle of the Common Brimstone is a story of transformation called metamorphosis. From its egg this butterfly evolves into a caterpillar before enclosing itself in a chrysalis and finally emerges as a vibrant adult.

This butterfly is often spotted feeding on nectar from blossoms thereby making it a vital pollinator that supports the growth of various plant species. Its delicate presence reminds us of the intricate interrelation of all living things.
