White Tree Nymph on 09.06.2008 in Wilhelma/Stuttgart - The White Tree Nymph (Idea leuconoe) is a butterfly (diurnal butterfly) from the family of brush-footed butterflies (Nymphalidae). The butterflies reach a wingspan of 95 to 115 millimeters. They have slightly transparent, white wings with black-colored wing veins. Additionally, they have black spots distributed on the wings, especially along the outer edge of the forewings. About in the middle of the leading edge of the forewings, there is a large black spot and further outward next to it a smaller one. The outer edge is broadly black-colored, with white spots visible within it. Their distribution area extends over Southeast Asia (Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Taiwan) and northern Australia. They are often kept in butterfly zoos, where they can live from 19 to 104 days. - Source = WIKIPEDIA
