this butterfly live in a group, they will help banana flower to pollinate. soon the female buterfly will lay some eggs on babana leave. when the eggs emerge into caterpilars they eat the leave and at last rooling the leave in order to protect them when they are on the last phase.
Looks like a skipper, family Hesperiidae, maybe of the Australian skippers (Trapezitinae)?
