Dear Balakrishnan, When we first spotted this brown butterfly, I thought it to be a day-flying moth I had seen in Namdapha, and almost ignored it since it appeared "battered", but on a second look I saw myself face to face with the Great Darkie, excitedly I started calling others (just like I yelled for you when we spotted the Awlking in Ultapani, and how you called out for me when you got Wax Dart) to see this rare beauty. It just sat there, with BNHS members clicking away snaps. It was not "battered" as it appeared but the hindwing markings made it look like one. Cheers! Isaac
