How and Where Can You Find Malayan crow butterfly at Different Life Stages
Egg Malayan crow butterfly eggs are typically laid on the underside of host plant leaves. Search for them in areas where host plants are abundant, by inspecting the bottoms of leaves for tiny, spherical objects often in clusters.
Larva Malayan crow butterfly caterpillars can be found on or near their host plants. Look for them by examining the leaves of these plants for signs of feeding, such as holes or nibbled edges, and look for frass (caterpillar droppings) on the ground beneath the plants.
Pupal Malayan crow butterfly chrysalises can be located on plants, under leaves, or on the stems. They can also be found on man-made structures. Look for camouflaged pupae that blend with the surroundings, taking on the appearance of plant parts or other natural elements.
Adult Adult malayan crow butterfly are likely to be found in areas rich in nectar-producing flowers. They can be spotted feeding on the nectar or basking in sunny spots. They may also be found near puddling sites, where they gather on wet soil to extract minerals.

Pollination Behavior Reason
Eat Pollen Or Nectar
Malayan crow butterfly flutters from bloom to bloom, using their proboscis to sip nectar. In the process, they inadvertently collect and transfer pollen, being particularly drawn in by vibrant colors and enticing scents. This incidental contact aids in the cross-pollination of many plants.
