The Coon's wings are dark brown
above, paler in the female, and with a slight golden hue. The underside
is paler and marked with a few small and rather obscure ferruginous spots.
The butterfly is rather local in Singapore, most often observed at the
Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. The caterpillar is known to feed on a
species of Araceae.
Where it occurs, several individuals
are often seen together. The butterfly has a short skipping flight
and does not fly far if not disturbed. This unattractive plain brown
coloured butterfly would probably go unnoticed by the casual observer. |
