Pseudergolis wedah, the tabby, is a species of Nymphalid butterfly found in Asia. In India, it is found along the Himalayas where it is somewhat uncommon and extends into Southeast Asia east to Vietnam. It bears a resemblance to the Castor butterfly Ariadne merione which was formerly placed in the genus Ergolis.
The genus is placed in the subfamily Pseudergolinae along with other genera such as Dichorragia, Stibochiona and Amnosia. The genus has two species, the other being avesta which is found in Sulawesi. The larval host plants belong to the family Urticaceae and include Debregeasia bicolor. The greenish larvae have a branched horn-like structure on the dark head.

Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Tabby sighting in Namdapha National Park on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 39th most-seen of the 71 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Tabby in Namdapha National Park on a given day, against under 5% in December, the lowest month. June to August have too few records to rate.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Tabby sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Namdapha National Park, in our data
Namdapha National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Tabby sightings: about 40% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Tabby that you can see in Namdapha National Park (family Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies) are Large Yeoman (about 60%), Indian Purple Emperor (about 60%) and Popinjay (about 50%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tabby is recorded against all the insects logged in Namdapha National Park (11 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
