Field Notes

Description:

Small butterfly with a fluttering flight. Rust coloured with a black pattern on wing border. Black dots on wings. Wings are rounded.

Habitat:

My rooftop terrace where I have a passionflower vine (its host plant) ...but it just rested on an unused clothesline and went away. In so many years it has laid eggs on the passionflower just once but I keep hoping.
