Species details : This is the most widely
distributed butterfly in the world. It is highly migratorial in habit,
and its presence on Samui is only as a passer through, and therefore,
one can not expect it to see the species at any particular time of year.
It may be encountered anywhere outside forests.
Early stages
: Known, but not pictured. Larval Foodplant
: Artemesia pallens, Artemesia scoparia, Blumea balsamifera (all
Compositae), Debregeasia longifolia (Urticaceae), Smilax
perfoliata (Smilacaceae) Range
: Cosmopolitan. Can be found on all continents, though in
Australia, it is only in the West of the Country.
