The Common Crow (Euploea core) is found in abundance at various places of South Asia and mainly in India. It is also referred as Common Indian Crow. It belongs to crows and tigers sub-family of Nymphalidae.
The crows are inedible and thus mimicked by other Indian butterflies like the Female Great Eggfly.
The Common Crow is a glossy black butterfly with brown underside with white marks along the outer margins of the wing.
