Field Notes

Description:

One of the most fascinating butterflies seen in Maharashtra. It looks like a dry leaf and is easily camouflaged on the ground or on the tree trunk. It has a brilliant blue upper side. It is fond of overripe fruit, a rather wary butterfly that is difficult to approach.
(Nelson Rodrigues)

Forest
