Telicota ancilla
Small butterfly of the Hespiridae family. Strikingly coloured. Yellow and black colours.
This was found flitting amongst the flowering weeds (Tridax etc.,) that had sprouted on the soil between the pavement stones following the monsoon rains.
Common in West Bengal, India; though I had never seen one before.
Nuwan...it did not have that fine spray of dots on the wings....if you have a minute will you please see this link: http://bengalbutterflies.com/cgi-bin/sea...
It looked really similar.
