Danaus genutia, the common tiger,^[1]^[2] is one of the common butterflies of India. It belongs to the "crows and tigers", that is, the Danainae group of the brush-footed butterflies family. The butterfly is also called striped tiger in India to differentiate it from the equally common plain tiger, Danaus chrysippus.^[3] The species was first described by Pieter Cramer in 1779.
