Butterfly are one of the insects that have various colors and unique wing patterns. Many people admire them. However, there is one family that rarely gets attention, namely the Hesperiidae family. Only nature photography lovers are after them. Actually, butterflies from this family are no less beautiful than other butterflies. Maybe because of their small body size, their existence is often overlooked.
If you look closely, this Ceylon dartlet butterfly also has a charming charm, especially its body looks sturdy, its feathers are thick. Its antennae are club-shaped, slightly curved and rounded at the ends. Antennas like that are not owned by butterflies from other families. And a pair of large, pitch-black eyes that are ready to monitor the whole world.
There is one more interesting thing about this butterfly, namely its flying style. It flies at super sharp speeds and jerks that look like jumping in the air. This movement helps this butterfly to protect itself from predators. For its habitat, this butterfly is the same as other butterflies in general, loving a green environment. But these butterflies spend more time in the grass, only when they want to fill their stomachs do they come to the flower garden.
