Thank you, bayucca...it gives me great happiness to learn the complete identity of the spotting...I was in Madhya Pradesh recently and even saw a wild tiger but the greatest joy has been in photographing plants and small organisms (spiders etc) that I had never seen before. Thanks a lot for telling me the names.
