Common Mime
My first shots of a Common Mime (papilio clytia) that are seen in plenty in the pre-monsoon and monsoon period but becoming scarce later on. The Common Mime has two mimetic forms in both sexes. This one is of the form 'dissimilis' that mimics the toxic Blue Tiger.
The Pagoda Flower (clerodendrum paniculatum) are like butterfly magnets and that is the reason why I let them grow wild in the backyard. It is a species of flowering plant in the genus Clerodendrum and family Lamiaceae.
