The Commander (
Moduza procris). It inhabits woods and settles on leaves. It is rather a strong flyer. This butterfly is fairly common in the vicinity of stream and rivers in the forest.
This species is found in heavily forested areas which receive high levels of rainfall, at elevations between sea level and about 400 metres.
Both sexes will visit herbaceous flowers, bushes and flowering trees for nectar.
Males often bask on river beaches, stream beds, road surfaces and boulders. They are strongly attracted to urine soaked ground, where they will sometimes spend an entire day, with bouts of feeding broken by periods of resting or basking.
