The Common Nawab (Polyura athamas) is a striking butterfly with pale green to whitish wings marked by bold black striping and patterning. Its angular wing shape and long, forked tails give it a sharp, distinctive 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 Polyura species, this butterfly 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 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.
