Monkey Puzzle

Description:

The butterfly has a weak flight, it stays low and does not fly for long without alighting. Its method of alighting is interesting - as soon as it lands, it turns around and waggles its tail filaments, it also sidesteps for a while - all this is apparently to confuse a predator as to which side is the head. This is a likely reason that the first naturalists may have named the species the Monkey Puzzle.(Wikipedia) Its favorite is plants of Ixora sp., so you could find this small butterfly around such plants.

Habitat:

This butterfly is found in jungle areas of moderate to heavy rainfall - both, in heavy forest and scrub.
