Parantica aglea

Additionally, the first interspace of the upperside forewing has two relatively long, broad streaks that unite at the base and are truncated outwardly.

Parantica aglea melanoides is distributed across the Himalayas from Kashmir to Nepal, as well as in the Sylhet and Chittagong regions of Bangladesh, in Assam, India, in Myanmar, and in Tenasserim.

[citation needed] White, pearl-shaped eggs are laid on the undersides of leaves and hatch after about three days.

The legs and ventral surface are purplish-black, while the tentacula, positioned as usual on the 3rd and 12th segments, are claret brown.

The pupae of Parantica aglea are green and spotted with silver, black, and gold, and they have a very tight shape behind the thorax.

[3]The species is found in the Western Ghats mountains, northeastern India, Sri Lanka, and the Malay Peninsula.
