Charaxes jasius, the two-tailed pasha, is a species of butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. Occurring in maquis shrubland in southern Europe and northern Africa, the larva typically feeds on the leaves of the strawberry tree. It has a wingspan reaching 76 to 83 mm (3.0 to 3.3 in) in males, with females being slightly larger. This butterfly of the subspecies C. j. jasius was photographed in Sithonia, Greece.
