Spotted few of these ones fluttering around the trail, eventually flying off due to the disturbance of the people or the vehicle passing thru, this particular one seemed to defying all and rather had a priority to heat itself up and could be see, basking in the sun, typically with its wings opened up. Due to its preference to sun bask, could manage to approach this beauty, perched inbetween other grassy foliage, and get a few frames of it, as seen, with its proboscis all coiled up, probably eagerly awaiting to warm up to optimum temperature to flutter around swiftly, out of our and any predator’s sight
EXIF:
