Habitat & Habits
This rather elusive butterfly made a surprise appearance on the 1 Jan 2002. On one of our regular butterfly watching outings, we observed this female Discophora sondaica despoliata flying around some bushes. It was careful to always land on some brown dead leaves to blend in with its similar coloured undersides. When it stops, it is very well camouflaged and is not easy to spot.

Other Observations
The butterfly is known to be attracted to fruit bait, and is found in the vicinity of bamboo clumps.
