Field Notes

Description:

Pale cream in colour. Dark shades on forewing margins and distinct black dots.

Habitat:

On garden plants of the Hotel lawn in Leh town (altitude around 11 thousand feet). There were quite a few of them... restlessly dancing and never sitting long enough for the camera to focus.

Notes:

All thanks to DanielePralong for the ID.
