| Common crow (Euploea core) is a common butterfly found in South Asia to Australia. In India it is also sometimes referred to as the common Indian crow, and in Australia as the Australian crow. It belongs to the crows and tigers subfamily Danainae (tribe Danaini). Its a glossy-black, medium-sized butterfly with rows of white spots on the margins of its wings. It is a slow, steady flier. Due to its unpalatability it is usually observed gliding through the air with a minimum of effort. As caterpillars, it sequesters toxins from its food plant which are passed on from larva to pupa to the adult. |
