Parthenos sylvia, the clipper,[2][3] is a species of nymphalid butterfly found in south and southeast Asia, mostly in forested areas.[2][3] The clipper is a fast-flying butterfly and has a habit of flying with its wings flapping stiffly between the horizontal position and a few degrees below the horizontal. It may glide between spurts of flapping.[4][5]
