Basking Butterflies

Today when I started my walk about 1:45pm it was drizzling. But in 5 minutes, it stopped up and the sky became clear.

I went to a plot, which had Eucalyptus plantation and was removed about 7-8 months back It has lot of herbs and shrubs growing there now.

I saw lot of butterflies basking in the sun. Most prominent was a Male Danaid Egg Fly (Hypolimnas misippus Linnaeus). Lot of blues ere basking too, but since I ran out of Camera Battery, I could not take many pictures. I will try to visit the same plot frequently and try to identify the Blues.

Other butterflies seen were:

• Emigrant (Catopsilia pomona Fabricius)
• Mottled Emigrant (?) (Catopsilia pyranthe Linnaeus)
• Tawny Coster (Acraea violae Fabricius)
• Common Grass Yellow (Eurema hecabe Linnaeus)
• Common Cerulian ()
• Common Mormon ()
• Common Rose ()
