This species is supposedly very abundant in Tamil Nadu; it should prefer Chennai, too, for its habitat of choice is the scrub jungle. Being rather tasteless (and maybe carrying some poisons, too), it does not have to fear too much about the predators. Maybe that's why I got to see not only this butterfly at close quarters, but its caterpillar, too!

Saw all the butterfly and other insect pictures via the MNS email! Thanks for sharing, and never mind that there were no bird pics - someone has to capture the butterflies as well!
