ID: Painted hand maiden moth (Euchromia polymena)
While traversing the deeper parts of the trail, in search of some interesting sightings along the usually moist patches of the forest, this particular area, just off from the high tide, had huge amount of winged beauties, of a range of types, flocking around and feeding off the moisture laden soil. Amongst them where these vibrant angels, mostly set on the lowest portion of the ground and hardly moving, unsure why, as they hardly seemed doing any activity. Interestingly the hind side/abdomen seemed to be bloated up a bit, atleast compared to the others that were a bit higher from the ground, and much more active than these.
EXIF:
Canon 80D
Canon 100mm macro
F/8
Shutterspeed 1/125
ISO 400
Handheld, External flash fired
Location: Nagla trail
