Habits of the insects as given in Lepidoptera Indica : (1) a shade-loving insect ; 

 (2) settles on trunks of trees with wings closed, no note of flying habits ; (3-8) 

 rocky nullahs, flies over tops of trees, settles with wings closed in trees or on 

 trunks ; (9) flies in a regular beat round and round in the hottest part of the day ; 

 (10-15) no note of habits, except in 14, which frequents sunny sandy beds of 

 streams and open places in jungle. 



Blue in moderate areas is found as a bar or patch lying on a 

 very dark-toned background of either black, brown, or green (see 

 table No. 4), an arrangement of pattern which probably results 

 in a conspicuous appearance. It may be mentioned that out of 

 the thirty-two occasions on which blue is used in large and 

 moderate quantity, eighteen are found in the Papilioninae and 

 the Euploeinae.
