Verdant Flutters.


Verdant Flutters.
The Red Pierrot (Talicada nyseus), is a small yet
striking butterfly belonging to the family
Lycaenidae often found fluttering around gardens,
edges of forests, and open woodlands and is
renowned for its vibrant coloration and delicate
beauty. Despite its diminutive size, the Red
Pierrot commands attention and fascination due to
its unique appearance and intriguing behaviours.
It is widely distributed across South and
Southeast Asia. It prefers habitats that provide
an abundance of its host plants, primarily the
succulents Kalanchoe. It sits with its wings
closed to display the bright markings of its
undersides. It fearlessness, weak flight and
markings indicate that it is a protected
butterfly, which is peculiar considering that its
host plants are not known to contain any
sequestrable toxins.
