Field Notes
Description:
The forewing is falcate at vein 6, and is long and narrow, more so in the male than in the female. The upperside is ochreous brown and marked with a rather complex pattern
Habitat:
Areas within nature reserves, several urban parks and even outlying islands. In sunny weather, both sexes can be found flying in the vicinity of flowering shrubs and having energy intakes from nectar and ripened fruits.
Notes:
This one was spotted along with many other butterflies from the same sub-family including Archdukes, Yellow Archdukes, and Great Marquis. They were all feeding on rotting fruit under a large tree.
