Common Australian Crow Butterfly - "Euploea core"

 

FAMILY "NYMPHALIDAE"

 

Common Australian Crow Butterflies are also called Oleander Crow.

 

At night the butterflies aggregate together in sheltered area.

In winter their aggregation even be in very large number.

They usually rest within a few meter above ground on trees.

 

The male has a narrow opaque mark on the forewing, which releases perfume to attract and attach the female.
