A Monkey puzzle butterfly (Rathinda amor) sits on a leaf in a forest in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on April 27, 2026. The species, belonging to the Lycaenidae family, is found in jungle areas of moderate to heavy rainfall regions of South Asia, including India and Sri Lanka. It is known for its unique defense mechanism, where it wiggles its tail-like filaments to confuse predators and acts as a pollinator. The butterfly has a weak flight and stays close to the ground, performing a ''monkey puzzle'' dance when landing to mislead predators about the location of its head.
