DescriptionMonkey Puzzle Rathinda amor by kadavoor edit by böhringer.jpg |
English: The Monkey Puzzle, Rathinda amor (Fabricius) 1775 is a small lycaenid or blue butterfly found in south Asia.
The butterfly has a weak flight, it stays low and does not fly for long without alighting. Its method of alighting is interesting - as soon as it lands, it turns around and waggles its tail filaments, it also sidesteps for a while - all this is apparently to confuse a predator as to which side is the head. This is a likely reason that the first naturalists may have named the species the Monkey Puzzle. Taken at Kadavoor, Kerala, India.മലയാളം: കുറ്റികാടുകളിലും മറ്റും താമസിക്കുന്ന ഒരു ചിത്രശലഭമാണ് ഇരുതലച്ചി. ഏഷ്യയുടെ തെക്ക് ഭാഗത്താണ് ഇവയെ കണ്ടുവരുന്നത്. |

English: The Monkey Puzzle, Rathinda amor (Fabricius) 1775 is a small lycaenid or blue butterfly found in south Asia. Magyar: A boglárkalepkefélék (Lycaenidae) családjában a csücsköslepkék (Theclinae) bizonytalan rendszertani helyzetű alcsaládjába tartozó Rathinda amor egy Dél-Ázsiában élő, kis termetű lepke. Ritkán és keveset repül; röpte gyönge és csapongó. A földre ereszkedve megfordul, hogy tapogatóra emlékeztető potrohfüggelékei fölmeredjenek; ezzel a trükkel próbálja megtéveszteni a rá vadászó ragadozókat. A felvétel a Kerala állambeli Kadavúrban készült. Nederlands: Rathinda amor is een vlindersoort die voorkomt in Zuid-Azië. Deze vlinder is op de foto gezet in Kadavoor in de Indiase deelstaat Kerala.
