Description
English: The Monkey Puzzle, Rathinda amor (Fabricius) 1775 is a small lycaenid or blue butterfly found in south Asia.

The butterfly has a weak flight, it stays low and does not fly for long without alighting. Its method of alighting is interesting - as soon as it lands, it turns around and waggles its tail filaments, it also sidesteps for a while - all this is apparently to confuse a predator as to which side is the head. This is a likely reason that the first naturalists may have named the species the Monkey Puzzle.

Taken at Kadavoor, Kerala, India.
മലയാളം: കുറ്റികാടുകളിലും മറ്റും താമസിക്കുന്ന ഒരു ചിത്രശലഭമാണ് ഇരുതലച്ചി. ഏഷ്യയുടെ തെക്ക് ഭാഗത്താണ് ഇവയെ കണ്ടുവരുന്നത്.
