Oriental Blue Tiger

By pamelajean
Tirumala limniace, the blue tiger, is a butterfly found in South Asia and Southeast Asia that belongs to the crows and tigers. That is, the danaid group of the brush-footed butterfly family.

This species migrates extensively during the Monsoons in Southern India. The migratory populations have been observed to be nearly entirely consisting of males.

I appreciate the tremendous interest and response to my previous shot of the Brimstone, you are all very generous.

Pamela.

I am always happy to see a butterfly that is unusual (new) to me--- and this one is a fine example---so well captured and finished, also with illuminating text!
