Quaker is a common butterfly occurs in forested areas from low lands to hills (Up to about 500ft) all the year round. It takes part in migrations and often settles on damp earth, sometime in swarms. Quaker's dry seasonal form is larger than wet seasonal form. Larva feeds on leaves of Glycosmis pentaphylla (දොඩම්පාන), Glycosmis angustifolia (බොල් පනා) and Atalantia ceylanica (වල් දෙහි/යකිනාරන්/යක් දෙහි)
It was raining heavily and I found this little one taking cover under an Ehela tree (Cassia fistula)
