Parantica, commonly called tigers, is an Old World genus of butterflies in subfamily Danainae of family Nymphalidae. They are found in southeastern Asia, Indonesia, Papua-New Guinea, and the Philippines. Many of these species are endemic to islands and considered endangered, vulnerable, or threatened according to the IUCN Red List.[1]
For other butterflies called tigers see the genus Danaus.
Parantica are large, slender, black and light blue or white butterflies. The body appears strikingly small and thin compared to the large wings.
