Great work as usual, Saji -- this time especially for the comparative headshots of India's three species of Melanitis (Evening Browns). Were they all in their last instar? Such side-by-side photos are very informative for those of us who study butterfly immatures in order to better understand scientific placement.
All the best in 2011 and beyond!
