I have only one UN view image of this one. Is it possible to identify it? Image shot in our home garden, Mangalore, Coastal Karnataka, South India in November 2017 20171104-IMG_0227 by GKBaliga, on Flickr
The following two pictures are of the same individual shot at Sammilan Shetty Butterfl Park, Belvai, (On the base of Western Ghats) near Mangalore, Karnataka, South India in Sept 2017
I am unable to fix the id at Pelopidas mathias / agna / subochracea / conjuncta. Though P. subochracea is usually found in deep forest with bamboo plantations, some authors are of the view
that they occur in urban and semiurban areas also because of the ornamental bamboo being planted in gardens.
4.. Female probably P. mathiasA line thru the FW cellspots move towards spot 1b; spot 2 more crescentic.
P. subochracea; Large ;FW subapical spots more in line; celspots large.
UnH spots reduced , often spot 2, 3, 6, (as in Borbo) with spot 6 biggest; spot are slightly dark-rimmed.
Marginal areas may be lightly paler. https://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/sp...as-subochracea
Uploading two images of the same specimen. Id help would be appreciated.
Is it Pelopidas Agna Female? Shot at our home, Mangalore. West Coast of Karnataka State today.
True Dr. Seow. These little rascals jump up and down, make us run behind them and when we shoot a photo they are a pain to identify.
But I am optimistic
Yes, the UNH colouration is uneven.
Spot 2 on UPF is usually quadrate in P. mathias, which is not the case in this specimen.
There in no brand on UPF in female. (To check where the imaginary line thru cell spots cut the brand). These two points confused me on the id.
But yes, on the whole pointers are towards P. mathias.
