Field Notes

Notes:

This one spotted at a tea garden at Dudhia, near Mirik has broken wings, which appear to be torne quite early in its life and healed by now; or is it a variant?

Yeah, that is strange. The right and left wings have different shape from each other. Maybe it is some crazy natural design they have to blend in better?

Thanks ChunXing. See those serrations on the left wing. Are they due to some chemical effect?

Spectacular spotting! This species is amazing. Great find, DrNamgyal
