Butterflies and bugs of Keoladeo
Blue tiger
We spent about five hours walking the main and minor tracks through Bharatpur’s Keoladeo National Park, which gave me a great opportunity to view the many species of butterflies and bugs populating the park.
No wonder birds flock here in the hundreds of thousands—every corner of the park offers up feasts of invertebrates and other delicacies such as fish, frogs and lizards.
With the exception of the baronet, all the ones pictured here were seen in Keoladeo National Park in the space of about an hour. A few days later, Deepti and I poured over a book of Indian butterflies and managed to accurately (we hope) identify all but two.
So far I haven’t been able to find out how many species of butterfly India has, but they are fluttering about everywhere we go.
Where to next? 
G’day I love the uniqueness of the butterflies Peggy; unique like you!
Cheers! Joanne

Lovely. The plain tiger and white “butterfly” look very like ones we’d get here.

LP, once again a very nice series of Butterfly shots, like the one to start this blog page. So many variations and colors and visiting warm country, they are out in numbers… And as you say a great national park for the birds to feast on…

I’m such a sucker for the butterflies, and feel especially fortunate to spot the colourful ones. But can’t say I’d ever like one for a snack. 🙂
