Grey Swift Parnara bada
Wingspan: 29 - 31 mm
Sighted: February - one sighting only in 2016
Foodplant: Swamp Ricegrass Leersia hexandra
Taken from a distance using a hand held 200mm lens and on a windy day these photos are not very sharp and are greatly cropped. This butterfly did not stay long after we sighted it. Hopefully, we will see more of this species next summer enabling us to take improved images.
