Though it was said to be one of the commonest Euthalia from the aconthea-group, it was not observed in moist spots and places where the genus are found till now (August 2013). A seasonal species perhaps? This lone specimen was found on a moist sand bank in the same locality where at least two other Euthalias and Tanaecia were observed on the same hour, of which none of them were observed prior to this...03 August 2013 @ 10:57.
