Oriental Common Evening Brown (dry season form)

Melanitis leda leda

Description:

A very tattered butterfly from the dry season (we have just had monsoon here) It was hiding in a dark place among dried leaves when I disturbed it. It didn't go far, just flew onto the wall, then back into the leaves. It was totally camouflaged. I took my eyes off it for a second, and lost it among the leaves!
