Butterflies

We saw quite a few different species including several big exotic looking species that never settled long enough to get a decent photo.  Identification is more difficult without an India butterfly field guide, but I've done what I can with the help of a good website - Butterflies of India www.ifoundbutterflies.org.

Not a clear picture - it was taken from the train window during one of our many
delays.  Common Jezebel - Delias eucharis

Not yet identified

Dark Blue Pansy - Junonia orithya ocyale

Possibly a Dakhan Yellow Orange-tip - Ixias pyrene sesia

Not yet identified but could be a Bath White

A bit pale but probably an Oriental Mottled Emigrant - Catopsilia pyranthe

Oriental Common Grass Yellow - Eurema hecabe - probably.

Oriental Peacock Pansy - Junonia almana almana

Possibly Indian Common Mormon - Papilio polytes romulus

Oriental Blue Tiger - Tirumala limniace 

Chinese Lemon Pansy - Junonia lemonias lemonias
