Appearance: It is a medium-sized butterfly easily identified by its semi-transparent, pale-blueish wings with distinct black veins and white spots.
Behavior: They are known for their slow, graceful flight and are often seen visiting flowers to feed on nectar, just as seen in your photo.
Habitat: They are commonly found in forested areas, gardens, and along the edges of woodlands across parts of South and Southeast Asia, including Sri Lanka.
Defense Strategy: Like many other "Tiger" butterfly species, they are unpalatable to predators due to the toxic chemicals they sequester from the plants they feed on as larvae, serving as a warning to potential predators.
