Field Notes

Description:

Hesperidae butterfly...brown with white dots. But a closeup shot has revealed soft powder blue colouration on its back...this is so strange because I have seen this species many times (never got a top view though) and never realized it has a touch of the blues!

Habitat:

Garden in the heart of the city.

Notes:

Called Jouhur in Bangla
