common eggfly

Known variously as the great, common or varied eggfly. "To the west the female is monomorphic, mimicking species of the oriental and Australasian danaid genus Euploea. Eastwards H. bolina is frequently polymorphic and most forms are then non-mimetic. In areas where it resembles Euploea the butterfly has usually been designated a Batesian mimic. It is found from Madagascar through to south and southeast Asia, south Pacific islands and occurs in parts of Australia, New Guinea, New Zealand and Japan."
