It is careful to always land on some brown dead
leaves to blend in with its similar coloured undersides. When it
stops, it is very well camouflaged and is not easy to spot.
The species has its hindwing angled at vein 4. The variegated
buff-brown undersides has a series of striations. The males have
a few obscure bluish spots on the forewings above, whilst the
females have a series of diffuse pale orange and whitish spots
on the forewings.
The butterfly is known to be attracted to fruit bait, and is
found in the vicinity of bamboo clumps.. |
