Plain Tiger (Danaus Chrysippus)
First in the "Butterflies of Israel" Series

The Plain Tiger butterfly is common in Israel throughout the year, particularly in the warm, moist areas around the Dead Sea. In summer, it migrates northwards and its mass migration in the Agamon Hula Nature Park in the north of Israel is an amazing sight.
A big butterfly with an 8-centimeter wingspan, it has bright orange and yellow-colored wings, decorated with white-spotted black borders. The female deposits its eggs on the leaves of milkweeds, its host plant.

Israel's location at the meeting point of three zoological regions creates a rich wildlife, which includes butterflies have come to be a symbol of beauty and liberty. Their alluring colors and beauty together with their graceful movements create inspiration for artists.
