Chorinea faunus

Butterflies, including chorinea faunus, are commonly lured using rotting fruit or fermenting bait as they are attracted to the sugars and fermented products.

The eggs of chorinea faunus are typically laid on the underside of host plant leaves in their preferred habitat, humid tropical forests. As larvae, they are usually found on the foliage upon which they feed, camouflaged from predators. Pupae of chorinea faunus tend to be attached to leaves or stems, often in more concealed areas to avoid detection during their vulnerable metamorphosis phase. To seek these various stages, one must explore the forest understory and examine the host plants carefully for eggs and larvae, while checking more hidden spots for pupating individuals. Adults can be spotted fluttering in sunlit glades or along the edges of forests where flowers are abundant.

The best time to find chorinea faunus typically falls in the late morning to early afternoon when temperatures are warmer, as butterflies are ectothermic and rely on the sun's heat for energy.

Ideal weather conditions for finding chorinea faunus are warm, sunny, and calm days, as butterflies generally avoid activity during cold, windy, or rainy weather.
