Papilio dravidarum, Malabar Raven, is a swallowtail butterfly endemic to Western Ghats of India. The Malabar Raven resembles the model Common Crow in habits and flight, but is faster than the other mimic, the Common Mime. It prefers shady patches. The males drink at wet patches especially in the hot dry pre-monsoon days. This butterfly rarely visits flowers.
