Two butterflies that visit our garden are named after royal positions, but they mostly spend their time in our compost pit, and seem to enjoy the rotting garbage. One is featured today, the Common Baron ( Euthalia aconthea)
The Common Baron, loves places where crops are grown, enjoys basking in the sun and also our compost pit.
The above photograph is of a male which is smaller than the female. Some royals like the Common Nawab and the Tawny Rajah are enticed by rotting crabs and prawns. Lepidopterist's do have a sense of humour.
Lovely Capture and nice info too.. :)
