Had been to the P.O. this morning and the premesis has a small garden. This butterfly was looking for nectar here. Which is this?

Dinu, if it is black and white, it looks like the Common Pierrot, Castalius rosimon:

Or is it black and yellow?

Very pretty little Blue.

Since it was sitting at a slight angle, the slight shadow of the wings has made it look yellower. But it is white and black. Perhaps trying to do some enhancing has brought in that greenish yellow shade there. The flower is also white. Will add a better pic to the BF.
