Artist's Comments
This long-tailed Lycaenid is relatively common in Malaysia, but very rare in Singapore. It frequents the forested areas and flies in the same fashion as its more common relative, the Branded Imperial. The wings above are brownish purple in the male and dark brown in the female. The underside is white, with most of the forewing and apical area of the hindwing shaded orange.
The butterfly has two tails on each hindwing, with the one along vein 2 being the longer - attaining a length of up to 25 mm. Scientific Name: Cheritra freja frigga (Common Imperial) Description Family : Lycaenidae SubFamily : Lycaeninae Common Name : Common Imperial |

 reports, 1d 5h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |
