Papilio slateri
The Blue Striped Mime ''(Papilio (Chilasa) slateri)'' is a Swallowtail butterfly found across South and South-East Asia. The butterfly belongs to the Mime subgenus, ''Chilasa'', of the genus ''Papilio'' or ''The Black-bodied Swallowtails''. The nominate subspecies is found in India and is also called the Brown Mime. It is a good example of mimicry among Indian butterflies.
