The Common Hedge Blue, Acytolepis puspa lambi, ovipositing. This butterfly is highly noticeable in flight with its pale shining blue upperside.
The beautiful Common Posy, Drupadia ravindra moorei, in the shady undergrowth. The butterfly had a peculiar habit of returning to the same few leaves to perch for a short while each time.
The Common Caerulean, Jamides celeno aelianus feeding on the flowers of a small tree. The only time this species seems to land for a photographable period of time is when it is feeding. It has beautiful shining pale blue uppersides.
The Common Line Blue, Prosotas nora superdates feeding at a damp spot on the forest floor.
There were quite a few other lycaenid species but I was unfortunately unable to photograph them.
