Field Notes

Description:

Black in colour with a wavy design of pale blue (almost white) and several smaller white spots on the fore wing.

Habitat:

This one was spotted on a potted Catharanthus roseus plant but it did explore the other potted plants too. Sat on each for quite some time as if resting.
