Description
The seventh of my 8-part butterfly series... In the background are some hardheads (sea ducks),
The Clipper is found in Sri Lanka, India, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Borneo, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea.
They prefer tiny flowers, and lantana plants are their first choice for nectar sources. They also have been observed mud-puddling in order to drink mineral-rich water accumulated on the soil. Because they are cold-blooded, they prefer to rest in a place with natural heat, such as sunlight, to warm their bodies. When their temperature is too low, they are unable to fly or feed.
There are more than 25 subspecies of Clipper Butterflies, and depending on the geographic area in which they are distributed, the wings are tinted with different hues, from green to blue to brown to yellow.
