Awesome - Check this little guy out.. Rajah Butterfly Dragonhead The Blue Nawab is the butterfly resulting from this caterpillar - it is found in tropical Asia. It belongs to the Charaxinae (Rajahs and Nawabs) in the brush-footed butterfly family (Nymphalidae). It occurs from South India and Assam through Myanmar, Tenasserim and Southeast Asia to southern China and to Java, Indonesia. The species was identified back in 1824 by Dr Godart and what an amazing discovery. It has this rather odd appearance that looks devilish don you think? Caterpillars are usually green, with a yellow band on 7th segment. Head with four curved and tuborculated processes. Pupa green, with a longitudinal row of red dots on each side. Included is the Blue Nawab butterfly too from which emerges after immaturity. Excellent Jose C. Depre
