The Dark Small-branded Swift (Pelopidas mathias) is a butterfly found throughout much of Southeast and East Asia, and as far as the Philippines. It is considered a pest to rice-growing cultures, although it is not as damaging to rice plants as Parnara guttata. Newly hatched caterpillars are especially voracious in eating young seedlings.Photo credit: Laitche
