Ectomis asine, commonly known as the Asine Longtail, is a large and distinctive skipper butterfly in the family Hesperiidae. It is easily recognized by its long, tail-like extensions on the hindwings, a feature that gives it a graceful, almost swallowtail-like appearance. The upper side of the wings is typically dark brown to black, marked with small pale or translucent spots, especially on the forewings. The underside is lighter brown with subtle patterning, helping the butterfly blend into its surroundings when resting. Its robust body, hooked antennae, and strong, rapid flight are characteristic of skippers.
