The species like both sunbeams, tawny rajah, some line blues, common silveline etc didnot show up. The highlight was the Redspot Zesius chrysomallus female. Initially I thought its a guava blue but the flight was weaker (probably the specimen is old). This was my first sighting of the species. I dont think its commonly found in the area. 1.
