All seen confused!
James shot the Indian Painted Lady Vanessa indica indica first 0n 24th Dec without realizing it was the vannessa indica indica and thought it to be the Painted Lady Vennesa cardui . Two days later on 26tg Me and Federick shot the same butterfy and I though the marking and color were different from the Vennesa cardui I shoot in 2006, however , I was busy and did not investigate further . Later Les highlighted it and we came to realize it was an Indian Lady.
Today Mark and me went off from the group to explore and encountered this mating pair ...Nacaduba augusta karriana
James was not there ....it was Mark .
Mark missed the India Painted Lady but he was with me when I spotted this Nacaduba augusta karriana.
I told him this ought to be something new when I saw the pair resting on the side of the trail with marking that is totally new to me ......never seen before.
While I took a couple of quick and dirty shots, he was all lineup behind to nailed this rare +1 ....... I gave him 30 seconds ...
