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.

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Baronet sighting in Royal Bardia National Park on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 5th most-seen of the 14 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 70% of wildlife watchers report a Baronet in Royal Bardia National Park on a given day, against under 5% in December, the lowest month. That is one of Royal Bardia National Park's driest months, with almost no rain against 590 mm in July. August has too few records to rate.
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 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Baronet sightings, Royal Bardia National Park ranks 3rd at about 30%. The best odds are in Bandhavgarh National Park (India, about 40%) and Kanha National Park (India, about 40%). All parks ranked.
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Baronet that you can see in Royal Bardia National Park (family Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies) are Peacock Pansy (about 30%), Plain Tiger Butterfly (about 30%) and Chocolate Pansy (about 30%), 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 Royal Bardia National Park (8 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.
