Plum Judy Butterfly

Dancing Judy



Plum Judy (Abisara echerius prunosa), a south Indian butterfly, is found in the low lands and subtropical forests. After a long flight, the male rest on the leaves of the forest. This insect likes to fly in early morning times. It flaps its wings in a rotating and jerky fashion to attain a stable position; hence, it is called the Dancing Judy. In evening, Plum Judy flies up and down quickly by means of an erratic and jerky flight.
