Chilapata Forest is near Jaldapara National Park in Dooars, Alipurduar district, West Bengal, India. I spotted this butterfly in the gardens of Chilapata Jungle Camp a tourist resort of sorts located right where the Chilapata forest ends. There was a pond on campus...this butterfly was on a plant on the edge of the pond.
