Symbrenthia silana
Semi-urban building surrounded by thick forests.
Spotted this beautiful butterfly on a warm mid-day inside our bedroom.
Thanks Daniele for the ID, ref. and the lead. It matches Scarce Jester. I forgot to put up the dorsal profile (a single shot) taken with my mobile. Will do that this evening.
Hi Dr. Sherpa! This beautiful butterfly is a Jester, either the Bluetail Jester (Symbrenthia niphanda) or the Scarce Jester (Symbrenthia silana). I am unable to differentiate them so I hope someone else can help further. At least Symbrenthia silana is reported in Sikkhim.
