Stages of pupating - Common Mormon
Look at those changes from the earlier post of this caterpillar. Length of larva shortens during the last days of 5th instar. Gradually the caterpillar comes to rest and becomes pre-pupatory larva. The pupa suspends itself with a silk girdle from the stem.

New sighting
Look at that hairy body of our new friend. This skipper, Suffused Snow Flat ( Tagiades Gana) is very similar to Tagiades Japetus and we were confused with them.

" I was the second largest butterfly in India for the last 88 years, now I'm not. Do you know why ? Golden Birdwing ousts Southern Birdwing to become the largest Butterfly in India. So I'm third.. "
