This typical butterfly is included into a fast flyer with its powerful wing beat, though it does not beat them rapidly. It very much likes to feed on the flowers of Clerodendrum species. Known as blue mormon butterfly, one of Asian largest butterflies. It used to be seen flying high in forests, midland and coastal area. Regular visitor of flowers of Clearodendron sp, Mussanda sp. and Ixora etc which have long corolla tubes. I found it just this late afternoon in vegetation plants, and I thought that would be easy for me to catch but soon after I got a few pictures, it took off and flew away. My eyes caught this butterfly was busy flying here and there and I had to find the right spot to take its pictures while waiting until it calm. knew it would be back standing on this plant, and I had to be ready to catch it up with my camera. DSLR helped me take its photos from a distance but unfortunately, it was there for a very short time which made me unable to take more photos of this beautiful winged insect. It is spread out commonly throughout the country, but is not found numerously.
