Jamides bochus bochus
Common butterfly of all the year round in all over the island, especially in South. It is a migratory butterfly and Ormiston has recorded that “It often flights in great numbers and these flights are usually composed of dwarf specimens” (Ormiston W. 1924). Males sometimes settle on wet patches on roads to absorb minerals. Its larva feeds on various plants of family Fabaceae such as Li-me(Vigna unguiculata), Boga-medeloa (Tephrosia candida) etc.
