The day was hot and humid. No rain, frequent sunlight, but the butterfly activity seemed quite low. I have attached an image of what seems to be a Lycaenidae caterpillar on a small plant a meter in height, probably Acacia sp. which was being tended to by Crematogaster sp. of ants. The caterpillar doesnt match with that of Common Acacia Blue on ifoundbutterflies. I have also attached another image of the food plant, and would appreciate any help with the identifications of both. I wonder if it belongs to Thanks and regards,Aniruddha -- Enjoy
