Long Banded Silverline (Cigaritis lohita), the day I found, it was busy flying here and there over the wild plants. Luckily, I used DSLR, so I could be able to take these photos from a distance range. This species is relatively common in Indonesia, even sometimes we can find this typical butterfly in the bush, pretty much around the wasteland. Any butterfly, including this kind, tend to visit tiny flowers growing in grassy areas, and sunbathe with wings fully open. The flight is rapid and typically done in a gliding fashion. The design and spectrum of colors of this butterfly has attracted nature enthusiasts and butterfly hunters. From black-and-white patterns to multi-colored designs, each species of butterfly is unique in its own right. This butterfly is commonly found throughout Asia and Southeast Asia that usually produce wet season, dry season and intermediate forms that used to be seen in open areas of primary and secondary forest, including along riverbanks, roadsides and mostly hang around the flowers. The adults seemed to have a fondness for flowers of the Mile-a-minute weed commonly found in wastelands.
