Painted sawtooth

Prioneris sita

Description:

It likes to fly in the company of the Jezebel(Delias eucharis) while mimicking, it resembles each other. A sudden movement, it drops its pathetic, bumbling pose and immediately charges away at great speed, leaving Jezebel to face the threats.

Habitat:

Montane grassland, Knuckles Mountain Range
