Blue Tiger Butterfly (Tirumala limniace) on Lantana

in Beauty of Creativity5 days ago

I spotted this beautiful butterfly was perching on wild flower and I got some time to take its photo. This butterfly is quite similar to the Dark Glassy Tiger. Known as blue tiger (Tirumala limniace) a butterfly that belongs to the crows and tigers, that is, the danaid group of the brush-footed butterflies family. It seems, this butterfly likes to spend time around the bush by flying here and there. To capture its pictures, I had to act fast or it would disappear from my sight at any minute. I was thrilled to see it with the wing open and of course, I had to watch its movements. This species, as we commonly refer to them, are relatively big and attractive butterflies with the blue pattern on both its wings and tend to fly weakly amongst low shrubbery and grasses. The Blue Tiger likes to fly in sunny conditions in a moderately fast, casual flight and settles with both open and closed wings. When they feed on a flower cluster, they crawl from flower to flower with their wings flapping slightly.
