butterfly – Seite 2 – The Light in the Sky

stop-with-the-things:

I found a butterfly the other day when I was out for a walk with Elke.

This is the second one that’s landed on me, but the first that my phone’s camera has been working to capture the event.

Kallima inachus (Nymphalidae) is commonly named Orange Oakleaf or Dead Leaf. Their forewings have a strongly falcate apex, and the tornus of the hindwings is extended to form a short tail. The resulting shape, together with the cryptic underside colouration creates a remarkable resemblance to a dead leaf, complete with a fake ‘midrib’. The disguise is particularly effective because there is considerable intra-specific variation in the underside markings, which makes it very difficult for insectivorous birds to form a ‘search image’ for the butterfly.

K. inachus is found in India, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, West Malaysia, China and Taiwan.
