Red Pierrot

Talicada nyseus

Description:

"The Red Pierrot (Talicada nyseus) is a small but striking butterfly found in South Asia and South-East Asia belonging to the Lycaenids or Blues family. Red Pierrots, flying weakly around and perching on the Kalanchoe plant, are usually noticed by excited children in gardens due to their beautiful striking patterns and colours."

Notes:

I spotted this beautiful butterfly on the "thulasi" plant in my garden.
