thirst

Tawny rajah

              The dryness has engulfed everything that came across it,and still goes on to do so. Its only our thirst which fuels our survival. Thirst spares nobody,from the tinnest to the most glorious creatures,nobody at all; Well the butterflies too have start experiencing the thirst.
              While summer closes in and as the winter ends the butterfly mudpuddling season starts,the activity is at peak during feb and start of march,and depends on the abundance of wet patches.These photos are from yeoor and you can notice that in almost all the photos the butterflies are mudpuddling.
