The Commander (Moduza procris)
Last Observed: February 2015, Koh Chang
Observed By: David Vinot
The splendidly named Commander is a brush-footed butterfly native to Asia.
Who or what The Commander commands, or how it got its name, is unclear. It would be great to have that naming power though wouldn’t it? “I’ll call this toad The Governor, just because I can”.
