Winters with the Tiny World.
Great start of the November month exploring Sanjay Gandhi National Park (Yeoor Hills Zone, Thane) organised by Jungle Buddies Tours in collaboration with the Sanjay Gandhi National Park Team.
Photograph 1 - Common evening Brown Butterfly is known for its seasonal polyphenism, where the dry-season form has smaller or vestigial eyespots and blends in with fallen leaves, while the wet-season form has larger eyespots.
It is a common butterfly found in Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia.
Photograph 2 - Jamides celeno is a small Butterfly found in the Indomalayan realm belonging to the Iycaenids or blues family.
Like many tropical butterflies, this species shows seasonal polyphenism, with the appearance differing between adults according to the season.
It was fun exploring the Forest Diverse ecosystem.
