## Caption

🦋 Euthalia aconthea, the common baron, often called simply baron, is a medium-sized nymphalid butterfly native to Sri Lanka, India, and Southeast Asia. It flies with stiff wing beats and often glides. The wing is not flapped very far below the horizontal.⁠
⁠
This butterfly has a stiff flap glide style of flying. It flies at low heights and maintains a territory.⁠
The pupa is green and quadrangular and found especially on mangos, where it is sometimes treated as a minor pest.⁠
