We recently took the long and winding road to the neighbouring state of Meghalaya where I had a ball capturing the sights!! As luck would have it, I was photographing some of the wild blooms when a butterfly landed on a dead tree trunk on the edge of the road. There was no time to get a better, closer shot. I only managed two shots, the other blurrier than this one, before it flew away. This is only the second time I have photographed this butterfly, the Common Jester. My first shot can be seen here.
According to Wiki, the Common Jester/Symbrenthia lilaea is a species of nymphalid butterfly found in south Asia and south-east Asia. The distribution is from the Himalayas extending to the Malayan subregion.
