Hi Amit,
Can you post more pictures of the plant-leaves, whole plant etc.
And any details about this creeper and where it was found.
This will help in identifying the plant.
Kind Regards
Janaki Turaga

I was amazed to find no less than 12 species of butterflies, several species of 
bees and a potter wasp were feasting on the flowers of this creeper. The plant 
found support on the branches of a mango tree. Here is a Common Crow on the 
flowers. The following is the list of butterflies visiting the flowers:
1. Common Crow (Euploea core)

2. Grey Pansy (Junonia atlites) 
3. Danaid Eggfly (Hypolimnas misippus)
4. Common Leopard (Phalanta phalantha)
5. Peacock Pansy (Junonia almana)
6. Common Albatross (Appias albina)
7. Common Jay (Graphium doson)
8. Plain Tiger (Danaus chrysippus)
9. Common Emigrant (Catopsilia crocale)
10. Monkey Puzzle (Rathinda amor)
11. Tailed Jay (Graphium agamemnon)
12. Unknown species about the size of Monkey Puzzle
I will be posting the photos very soon. I would very much like to know the name 
of this plant.
Regards
Amit Ray
