The Common Sailor (Neptis hylas) is a distinctive butterfly with dark brown to black wings crossed by crisp white bands and markings. Its smooth, gliding flight gives it a “sailing” appearance, which is the origin of its common name.
Native to Asia, Neptis hylas is found across South and Southeast Asia, including India, Thailand, and surrounding regions. It is commonly associated with forest edges, gardens, and lightly wooded habitats.
Interesting Fact:
This species is known for its characteristic flight pattern, alternating between quick wing beats and short glides, resembling a boat tacking through water.
This specimen is preserved and is carefully stored in a protective paper triangle, ensuring it arrives safely and is ready for spreading or long-term collection. Collection data is included.
All specimens are ethically sourced, collected responsibly with a focus on sustainability and minimal impact on wild populations.
