"The Clipper (Parthenos sylvia) is a species of nymphalid butterfly found in South and South-East Asia, mostly in forested areas. It is a fast flying butterfly with a habit of flying with its wings flapped stiffly between the horizontal position and a few degrees below the horizontal. It may glide between spurts of flapping". . . .I can vouch for it being a fast flying creature - all their flapping about put me in quite a flap at the Tropical Forest but this one obliged :) . .
