Water Snow Flat


water snow flat butterfly, hesperidae



Tagiades litigiosa
, commonly known as the Water Snow Flat, is a butterfly belonging to the family Hesperiidae which is found in India

The butterflies of this family are called 'flats' because they always keep their wings flat, they never fold it.

Water snow flat, one of the beautiful flats found in south India, loves shrub shades and often hides under leaves.
getting a snap of this small fly is not very easy if you are not a keen observer. you have to keep vigil around bushes, to find this small flat gliding under the green blankets.but once settled it allows us to come so close.
this fly also chases other fies enter into the area, thus may spoil your attempts at a sudden.
