The Double-branded Crow (Euploea sylvester) is a dark, velvety butterfly with deep brown to black wings marked by rows of small white spots. Males display distinctive scent brands on the forewings, giving the species its common name.
Native to Asia, Euploea sylvester is found across South and Southeast Asia, including India, Thailand, and surrounding regions. It is commonly associated with forests, woodland edges, and shaded habitats.
Interesting Fact:
Males possess specialized scent scales (androconia) used during courtship, releasing pheromones to attract females—a feature that distinguishes them from closely related species.
This specimen is preserved at A1 quality, fully spread and professionally mounted in a clear PE display frame, making it ready for immediate display. Collection data is included.
