Dakhan Dark Blue Tiger in leafy action~
"Butterflies are A-W-E-S-O-M-E, make no mistake!"
Blue tiger butterfly specimen (Tirumala limniace)!
The males have a brush at tip of the abdomen. They protrude it out and stroke the pouches of specialized scent scales on the hind wings to scatter the scent that attract the females. The eggs are laid on the tender buds or flower buds or the tips of the leaves.
An interesting video I found:
