Small salmon arab [Colotis amata]
Flora & Fauna
According to Dilmahconservation.org, “The slow-flying Small Salmon Arab always flies near the ground. Even though their larval food plant tends to grow up, they use stunted trees, saplings or shoots that come out from base of trees to lay eggs in batches. These butterflies congregate for roosting and choose dried up herbaceous areas to settle, allowing them to camouflage themselves.”
