Common Emigrant (Catopsilia Pomona) is a common butterfly in my garden . It flies very rapidly with erratic up and down swoops. It is very difficult to take a photograph of Emigrants as it is really restless all around day.

You can attract Common Emigrant by planting its host plants Bauhinia racemosa, Cassia fistula, Cassia Siamea, Cassia tora, Butea monosperma etc …around your home.
