File:Monkey Puzzle Rathinda Amor By Kadavoor Edit By Böhringer.jpg
The butterfly has a weak flight, it stays low and does not fly for long without alighting. Its method of alighting is interesting - as soon as it lands, it turns around and waggles its tail filaments, it also sidesteps for a while - all this is apparently to confuse a predator as to which side is the head. This is a likely reason that the first naturalists may have named the species the Monkey Puzzle.
Taken at Kadavoor, Kerala, India.
