The tiny scavengers
ID: Dead Plains cupid being feasted by tiny mites?
Came across an interesting sight of some dead cupids, along the dried water bed, mostly due to the extreme heat(though not sure). Though this butterfly seemed dead, there seemed to be some motion happening along its body, on close observation I realized tiny orange insects roaming along the butterfly, probably feeding over it. Not sure about the id of the tiny insects, the other cupids, few cms away from this one, also seemed to be covered with these tiny bugs.
