Description
The undersides of this species is quite different from the other look-alike, being heavily striated. The wings of the Common Lascar also appear more squarish and angular.
Habitat & Habits
The Common Lascar is by no means common in Singapore, as its name suggests. It is seldom encountered, except in dense forest, and prefers to fly singly. The butterfly glides in the usual "Lascar" fashion, and in the field, it is quite difficult to distinguish from the other three known extant species which appear rather similar to the Common Lascar.
