Common Leopard Butterflies (Phalanta phalantha)
After being told that I would find some butterflies in the woods after passing the paddy fields. I made my way to the place with the guy who willingly guided me there. It's afternoon already, and the sun burned my skin so badly, but I kept passing the narrow path, trying to reach that place. What my friend told me was right, I was warmly welcomed by some butterflies in the deep woods. I first noticed this common five-ring butterfly was flying quite a lot in between the bushes. When I managed to come closer, it flew away. As I came here to shoot them, I must stay while trying to find a good way to take shots. Upp! It came back again, and I was so ready with my gear to take the shot. Luckily, I used a DSLR so I could reach them from a distance. It is called the Common Leopard butterfly (Phalanta phalantha), which belongs to the family Nymphalidae, in the order Lepidoptera. Its wings are dull brown on the upper side, with the female being paler in the ground colour in the distal halves of both wings, forming leopard dots.
