Top Tier Camouflage - _TNY_6041
The orange oakleaf (Kallima inachus), also known as the Indian oakleaf or sometimes the dead leaf, is a butterfly which has a rather splendid way of camouflaging itself.
I don't think I need to tell you how - it is pretty obvious how greatly it imitates a dry leaf.
Today (September 12th 2023) at the Haga Ocean butterfly house in Solna, Sweden, it is the first one I've seen one and I was elated with my discovery.
And since the dorsal side is gorgeous in deep blue and orange - that's what I hope to be able to catch the next time I see one!
