Field Notes

Description:

Mud- coloured with darker streaks. When it sits on dry leaves... it is invisible!

Habitat:

Suntaley khola is a remote village in West Bengal, India with the River Moorti flowing by it. There is only one narrow motorable road that ends by the river. Lots of vegetation growing low. Lots of tall trees. Very biodiverse. This butterfly came to say Goodbye to us as we were leaving. It is sitting on my bag.
