A Red Pierrot (Talicada nyseus) butterfly. Dehradun India.
As per Sanjay Sondhi of Titli Trust, the Red Pierrot was not seen in this region till some years ago. The theory being that this butterfly may have arrived with the boom in Kalanchoe, the host plant, of the Red Pierrot.
Whatever reason this is a beautiful butterfly, both closed wings, or open wings.

Two lynchings have been haunting me for the past few days. One of a 24 year old #Tripura native - #AnjelChakma at #Dehradun, and the other of a 31 year old #Chattisgarh native #Ramnarayan at #Palakkad. Anjel was accused of being a Chinese national and Ramnarayan of being a Bangladeshi.
What is the point of being such an expansive nation if we can't recognize our own brothers? In a cruel irony, Anjel's last words had "I am Indian". Yes! The #Indian is dying - an inch a day! 😞
