Painted Jezebel

During my last trip out, I saw very little, except for a huge number of Appias albina. What was suprising was that I came across the dry season form of the female and both wet season forms.
To show why this species is confusing, here are examples. I know this species is not found in Singapore, but with so many members making the trip up into Malaysia, I thought it may be of interest.
1- Dry season female - this can look like a male Appias paulina to add to the confusion.
2- Wet season female f. principalis.
3- Wet season female f. semiflava.
