Fluttered by

 

Yesterday morning 
a Great Eggfly came to rest
only for a while.

This time not to die
catch her breath, escape the sun
momentarily.

It was a different feeling from 2019 - final resting place.

Hypolimnas bolina, the great eggfly - female


Typically, the Great Eggfly underside has more white...so here is another morph then.


PS:  I have to admit - I thought it was a Common Indian Crow initially - lazy dying if ever there was one - and it was Sagarika, sharp as a nail, alert as ever, who said, nooooo!  not a Crow, too big, and see the frilly edge.
