Shyam, you can view the pictures of this species at: http://ifoundbutterflies.org/326-caltoris/caltoris-canaraica
Kalesh’s early stages of this species are also posted there. Excellent pictures of several more individuals by Balakrishnan and others have also been posted on this group in the past, we haven’t got around to posting them on the website yet. We will do that asa we can. BTW, occasional Pelopidas swifts also have a pale discal patch UNHW, so you really need to see the UP to determine species. Krushnamegh. ________________________________ From: SHYAM GHATE <[email protected]> Reply-To: butterflyindia <[email protected]> Date: Mon, 19 Sep 2011 22:33:22 -0400 To: butterflyindia <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [ButterflyIndia] Is that an unusual dart? Hi Kalesh, Thanks. Do you have any picture to support that. I have few other angles of this butterfly and all seem to show that distinct whitish large band on the UNH - which I don't find on any pictures of Caltoris canaraica that I can access. cheers From: kalesh s <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [ButterflyIndia] Is that an unusual dart?
