Tailed Jay

Graphium agamemnon

Description:

Strong and restless fliers, they are very active butterflies and flutter their wings constantly even when at flowers. They are seldom seen drinking from damp patches. But i was lucky enough to capture this fellow when he was visiting a damp patch - or called in-general puddling
