I was searching this butterfly species from 2007. Some of our Kolkata team members had sighted it twice at Chintamani Kar Bird Sanctuary, Kolkata and was able to take the photograph. After a long wait, just two days ago, on 19th December morning I got the chance, when it came to my house and settled on the window (Dist. Howrah, West Bengal). I was really shocked after seeing this (it’s really a big sized skipper), but somehow managed to take the photograph. Another important thing is that, this is the first photograph of a butterfly species that I clicked with my new DSLR. This is my best photo of the year 2008.
