Crimson Tip

Description:

It is a locally common butterfly confined to the Northern Province of the island along the West coast, which also has been recorded from South around Puttalam, where it is uncommon. It is quite plentiful around Mannar further north. From there on, smaller populations occur along the coast up to the Jaffna peninsula. It is certain to be seen around the Murunkan tank near Mannar during the North West monsoon.
