The forewing has a traverse black line below apex cell and an oval spot beyond encircling a small yellow spot, a broad short oblique discal bar and an angulated postdiscal lunular band the costa narrowly and the termen shaded with black. Hindwing: a comparatively large triangular patch below the middle of the costa, a postdiscal evenly curved series of spots and a broad band along the termen black. Underside dark ochraceous red. Forewing: the base shaded with fuscous black, two spots at base of cell and a transverse line beyond crimson pink, edged with black: a very broad oblique discal band, angulated downwards below vein 4, bordered posteriorly by a large black spot on the inner side and outwardly and anteriorly by an oblique broad black band, followed by four anterior obliquely placed ochraceous-white spots, and beyond by a very narrow lunular black band bent downwards below vein 6.

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Baronet sighting in Mumbai on a given day, based on 51 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 76th most-seen of the 362 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May, September and November
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Baronet in Mumbai on a given day, against under 5% in February, April and December, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Baronet sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Baronet sightings, Mumbai ranks 3rd at about 10%. The best odds are in Jabalpur (India, about 30%) and Bhopal (India, about 20%).
Same genus: Euthalia
The closest relatives of the Baronet that you can see in Mumbai (genus Euthalia, Baron and Duke Butterflies) are Common Baron (about 30%) and Gaudy Baron (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Baronet is recorded against all the insects logged in Mumbai (51 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
