The Common Pierrot is presumably named after the creepy and rather unpleasant Italian clowns of the same name. It’s black and white you see.
It actually has a really attractive pattern though with all kinds of leopard-like spots on a white background.
It is a South Asian native butterfly that is a member of the lycaenid family of butterflies.
