Adult Yellow Glassy Tiger can be found in sunny, open areas or along the edges of woods where they may be feeding on nectar from flowers. They are more active in warmer weather and around, midday when the sun is brightest.
   They fly quite slowly and often glide in midair.
  While at rest, they hang upside down on dried branches usually with their wings folded shut.
    Adults can be seen all year around, with a peak from September - October and in December.
   The base color of their wings is predominantly bluish grey, with the usual black markings of the Parantica species.
   Each wing has a bright yellow basal patch that is on the hindwing covering about half of the wing surface.
   They primarily pollinate flowers by consuming pollen. During the feeding process, pollen adheres to their bodies and is incidentally transferred to other blossoms.
   They are often found near the corolla of flowers, where their fluffy hairs easily pick up pollen, assisting in the pollination of the plant.
    The intricate patterns and vibrant colors of flowers visually appeal to Parantica Aspasia, guiding them from one plant to another, thus facilitating pollination.
    Potential predators include birds, spiders, mantis, dragonflies, reptiles.
    They have an amazing life span of approximately 12 months.
    The Yellow Glassy Tiger has not been seen in the past two decades or more in Singapore, and is considered to be extinct there.
    * Parantica aspasia belongs with the Crows and Tigers, the Danaid group of the Nymphalidae (Brush-footed) butterflies.
    ** As members of the Brush Footed (Nymphalidae) family, they use their shorter pair of front legs for food tasting, and their two pairs of longer rear legs for propulsion.
