Meet Marianne and Pyrene, two sunny beauties I saw for the first time at Bharatpur, and I had completely overlooked. Seeing the Blue Mormon at GNP last weekend, suddenly brought them back to mind, and I hunted through my 200-odd photos from Bharatpur.
And here they are! They love to sunbathe it seems, and that suited me fine, as I could get really close to them to take these shots. I was also double delighted as their common names actually were easy to remember. (I actually didn't write their names down and I still recalled them!) Pyrene here below is Yellow orange tip,
Ixias pyrene
Ixias marianne...and this is White orange tip!! No crow, mormon, tiger or eggfly!
Nice pictures. And impressive memory!
