Hi Promila ji, Dr. Usha had seen it first (She stays in that area) and she wanted me to see it as both of us love insects as much as we love trees.
Cheers, Shubhada "I am only one; but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; I will not refuse to do the something I can do." ________________________________ From: promila chaturvedi <[email protected]> To: tanay bose <[email protected]> Cc: shubhada nikharge <[email protected]>; indian tree pix <[email protected]> Sent: Sat, 3 July, 2010 7:22:26 PM Subject: Re: [efloraofindia:40132] Terminalia arjuna - leaves, flowers, fruits & cocoon of a moth Though Delhi hosts plenty of T. arjuna. On Janpath they stand both the sides of road as avenue tree. But it is difficult to locate any insect life at the crown because they are tall trees. I admire you Shubhada ji, to locate, identify and take a picture of the crysalis.
