Delias eucharis, the common Jezebel, is a medium-sized pierid butterfly found in many areas of south and southeast Asia, especially in the non-arid regions of India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Myanmar and Thailand. The common Jezebel is one of the most common of the approximately 225 described species in the genus Delias.
The wingspan of both males and females ranges from 6.5 to 8.5 cm. Upperside is white. The forewings have the veins broadly black, this colour broadened triangularly at the termination of the veins, costal margin narrowly black; a broad black postdiscal transverse band from costa to dorsum sloped obliquely outwards from costa to vein 4, thence parallel to termen. Hindwing with the veins similar but for three-fourths of their length much more narrowly black; a postdiscal transverse black band as on the forewing but much narrower, curved and extended only between veins 2 and 6; beyond this the veins are more broadly black and this colour as on the forewing broadens out triangularly at the termination of the veins; the interspaces beyond the postdiscal black band pink, due to the vermilion colouration of the underside showing through...

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Common Jezebel sighting in Udawalawe National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 3rd most-seen of the 12 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Common Jezebel in Udawalawe National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–March, July and September, the lowest months. That is one of Udawalawe National Park's driest months, with about 70 mm of rain against 330 mm in November.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Common Jezebel sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 5 parks where we can rate Common Jezebel sightings, Udawalawe National Park has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Wilpattu National Park (Sri Lanka, about 20%) and Satpura National Park (India, about 20%).
Same order: Lepidoptera
The closest relatives of the Common Jezebel that you can see in Udawalawe National Park (order Lepidoptera, Butterflies and Moths) are Common Crow (about 40%), Blue Tiger (about 30%) and Lesser Grass Blue (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Jezebel is recorded against all the insects logged in Udawalawe National Park (7 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.
