Euthalia aconthea gurda

Fruhstorfer 1906 - The Mango Baron

Koh Samui and Koh Pha Ngan.

Probably the most common species of Euthalia found on the Islands, and certainly the one most likely to be encountered, owing to its liking for Mango and Cashew Trees, which are its larval foodplant and which are commonly grown in gardens. It was, however, originally a forest species.
