Found in the tropical landscapes of central India's hills and the Himalayan range, the Common Nawab (Polyura Athamas) is anything but common. Like a winged supermodel, she rocks a chic mint green look with a bold black border - very on-trend.

As a species of fast-flying canopy butterfly, the common nawab belongs to the Charaxinae in the brush-footed butterfly family. Now let's talk wingspan: 64-85 millimetres is nothing to scoff at, and she flutters those After Eight wings confidently like she was born fabulous. But that's just the thing - she wasn't.

Her caterpillar yearbook photos show an elongated dark green slug with an attitude problem, earning her the charming nickname "dragon-headed caterpillar". So, all you awkward-looking caterpillars worried about your post-metamorphosis glow-up, don't sweat it. There's hope for you yet.
