                The dry-season form of the Common Evening Brown butterfly (Melanitis leda) is seen camouflaged as a dead leaf while feeding on the juice of a fallen fruit in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on November 4, 2024. This butterfly, known for its erratic flight at dusk, is native to regions including Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and parts of Australia. In the wet season, its forewings feature two large subapical black spots with smaller white-centered spots, bordered by a ferruginous lunule on a brown background. In the dry season, however, the butterfly’s ocelli are reduced or absent, with its color shifting from grey to light brown, helping it blend with dead leaves for effective camouflage.
