Species : Nacaduba pactolus continentalis
Distributed from India, through Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Malaysia, and Singapore. It is also found in Australia. It is a small butterfly with a wingspan of just 27-32mm and in Thailand it is fairly common. It flies rapidly and is usually only seen in sunny weather. It can therefore be found in sunlit places, within forested areas, either basking or flitting around from perch to perch. It is never found far from its host plant.
The larval foodplant is a climbing vine, Entada spiralis. Eggs are laid on young shoots and flower buds and take about 2 days to hatch. The resulting larva goes through four instars over a period of 11-12 days before pupating. Pupation lasts for 5-6 days and then the adult butterfly emerges.
