Butterfly flits around Daphne bholua and Rhododendron flowers - Uttarakhand
Butterfly forages on Daphne bholua and shrub Rhododendron campanulatum flowers in the upper reaches of the Yamunotri range in Uttarakhand state of India.
Daphne bholua (Nepalese paper plant) is a species of flowering shrub in the genus Daphne of the family Thymelaeaceae. It grows at altitudes of 1,700–3,500 m (5,577–11,483 ft) in the Himalayas and neighbouring mountain ranges, from Nepal to southern China. At lower altitudes it is found as an evergreen in thickets and forest margins; at higher altitudes, it is deciduous and is usually found in pastures and grassy glades. It usually reaches a height of about 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in), though some specimens reach 4 m (13 ft) or more.
Daphne bholua has leathery leaves and deep pink flowers with a powerful fragrance, and a number of named cultivars have been bred and are grown as garden plants in Europe and North America.
D. bholua has a wide range in the Himalayas and adjoining ranges, from Nepal through Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Vietnam, into Sichuan and north-west Yunnan.
In Nepal, the plant's common name is baruwa; in Tibet it is chu chu.

Papua New Guinea Butterfly...
I have seen many different butterflies in PNG since I moved here in 2011, but this was a new one for me. I found it in while hiking to a waterfall back behind our house. It was the first and only time I've since this particular kind.
