Field Notes

Description:

Small yellow skipper with dots on wings which I thought would help me ID it....but....

Suntaley Khola is a remote hilly and forested area by the River Murty. This butterfly was spotted in the garden of the resort we stayed in. It seems to be feeding on dry bird droppings (Nitrogen-rich).
