Field Notes
Description:
Striped abdomen not fully covered by the wings.
Habitat:
Mud puddling behind a guest house we had stopped for tea in Madhya Pradesh enroute to Raipur. There were about fifty or more of these insects on the wet patch.
Notes:
I thought only butterflies liked mud puddling; flies/bees too?.
