The Common Nawab (Polyura athamas) is a striking butterfly with pale green to whitish wings marked by bold black striping and patterning. Its long, forked tails and angular wing shape give it a distinctive and elegant appearance.
Native to Asia, Polyura athamas is found across South and Southeast Asia, including India, Thailand, and surrounding regions. It is commonly associated with forests, woodland edges, and areas near streams.
Interesting Fact:
Like many members of the Polyura genus, this species is more often attracted to fermenting fruit, tree sap, and animal droppings than to flowers, and is known for its fast, erratic flight.
This specimen is preserved, fully spread and professionally mounted in a clear PE display frame, making it ready for immediate display. Collection data is included.
All specimens are ethically sourced, collected responsibly with a focus on sustainability and minimal impact on wild populations.
