Field Notes

Description:

Black butterfly with white spots. 70mm wingspan. Slow flier since it has accumulated poisonous compound from it's diet while feeding as caterpillar and is hence inedible to birds and other predators and so fearless.

Habitat:

Spotted on a cosmos flower in a jungle clearing.
