The Dark Posy, Drupadia theda thesmia (Hewitson)

The Dark Posy ressembles very much its commoner cousin D. ravindra and they have the same habits. D. theda can readily be identified from the latter by having its HW markings in double lines instead of solid black bars (pix above).

It kept coming back to this low bush and loitered around the young leaves - a foodplant maybe?
