The upper side of the wings is primarily white, while the underside is light gray with subtle patterns that aid in camouflage. Males are often more vibrantly colored than females, making them easier to identify during flight.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:14.0pt; line-height:107%;mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin">Known for its agile flight, Castalius rasimon is a frequent visitor to nectar-rich flowers. While it is generally considered a common species, habitat destruction and changes in land use may impact its populations.
