Butterfly Watching - May 2018

Here are some butterflies which came across my path recently. They were all seen at sub montane level.

Common Three-Ring Butterfly


Marbled White Morph


This is probably a female Common Earl. Identified thru its white band hindwing.




Small Wood-Nymph (Ideopsis gaura)

Saw a few of them flying slowly in the forest trail.


Not so sure which butterfly does this Caterpillar belongs to but saw lots of the above wood-nymphs flying around.


Lastly this could be a Common Tiger (D.melanippus) from the old world.
Like its relatives in North America, the Monarch Butterfly, it is probably poisonous too.



HAPPY BUTTERFLY WATCHING !
