The Orange-tailed beauty: Yamfly of Nagla

[Prajwal J Ullal]

Of the three visits I had at Nagla(in a span of almost 2 months), all the time I have spotted a Yamfly at a particular location and everytime it seems to be a new one, this one had its hind wind cracked up.
Is this location specific presence because they are very territorial or due to the presence of some host plant?

Had to extend myself in height to get this shot as it had seated itself a bit higher on the shrub
Location: Nagla block

Nice image. I checked a bit about this butterfly, and it said they are usually found close to the host plant they feed on. Thanks for sharing.
